We liked everything. The service was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
We didn’t like the sofa bed . But later we requested to make it comfortable and they did it. Thanks to the staff.

Fantastic location and great size rooms. We didn't really use it but was good to have 24 hour reception and bar (the bar sold snacks and soft drinks too)
The breakfast could have more options and bed was very firm, possibly a little too firm for me. The rooms were not always cleaned as well as I would like.

Location
It was too expensive. I splashed out as a treat for my family but apart from the excellent location it was at the end of the day just a hotel room. Have come to realise that treats like this are no longer affordable my family and I do regret my extravagance.

The location was close to the downtown area.
The area seemed a little sketchy at night.

David greeted us and made us feel like we were at home. Saw him each day and he always asked how things were. In addition, the rest of the staff were very friendly as well. The location was perfect (5-minutes from the Royal Mile). The whole hotel was clean - kudos to the cleaning team! The breakfast was good and plentiful.
No electrical outlets in the bathroom. In fact, only 2 in the whole room, none even close to the bed, and the closest one for the coffee machine you literally had to put the machine on the floor. One-side of the bed had USB/C and nothing on the other side. Bed was small for two people and if 1 was large it is not comfortable.

The location was nice.
The beds were hard. Also, Cowgate gets a little rowdy after dark.
