Disappointing
Location
Every hour the air conditioner made a loud noise even when turned off, it was impossible to sleep.
The drain in the shower did not work properly, even after a quick shower the water would come up to the toilet and the door and stay there for hours.
The sheer curtains were stained and dirty.

Very good position in the heart of Edinburgh, very close to the Royal Mile. Room large enough for Edinburgh standards, and absolutely clean.

Room had most things we needed. Staff was pleasant and helpful and when we asked to change rooms were accommodating.
No luggage stand. I wasn’t sure but price listed seemed less than when I got there. But I hadn’t written it down so I’m not sure. .
Breakfast was typical and after 3 weeks we just tired of it. Not hotels fault. Porridge would have been nice though.

Guest Score 4 out of 10
Disappointing
breakfast was reasonably good and the front desk staff was courteous.
room was too small and dark so also the shower area was too cramped. lift was too slow to arrive specially in the mornings. Name of the hotel with Royal Mile is misleading. it is away from Royal Mile.

An excellent location! Very personable and helpful staff.
Bedding with No upper sheet....and a questionably wrinkled Duvet.

Wonderful
We were very satisfied with our stay at the hotel overall. First of all, all the staff were helpful and friendly. In particular, Ms. Birsen and the reception team went above and beyond to assist us with all our questions and found solutions with great dedication. During our stay in Edinburgh, we spent three days in the Highlands, and they kindly allowed us to leave our luggage at the hotel. When we returned, everything was smooth and easy. We can truly say this place felt like our home in Edinburgh.
Cheese must be in the breakfast.
Thank you for your information!
