Wonderful
Other than the above already rated, the quite and safe! But the staff really outdid themselves, the breakfast was just what we needed, and the room was prefectly clean and comfortable. Would book again 100%!
Room was a bit cramped (so next time I will take a bigger room) and no mini fridge.

Disappointing
The location was great. Good breakfast
We were given a room with a connecting door which had no chain and just had a flimsy lock. Plus the door meant there was no sound proofing and we could hear the neighbours all night. We also has a clogged shower drain and waited more than an hour for it to be cleaned.

Disappointing
Moving the bathroom door sounded like some was knocking on the outside door. Bad hinge, not a squeak . I asked about it at 9a Sunday, and no one responded. I asked at 5p and was told no one could do anything . I said the review would reflect this and was offered a free drink. They showed up with WD40 which did not help. Room 007.
$1000 for 2 nights.

Location was great, near downtown Edinburgh and all the attractions.
Elevator did not work, beds were horrible, room is very small for the price, had to call for more towels because they gave us enough for one person, too expensive for an old hotel.
