Poor
Breakfast was fast and easy in the morning
I had a broken toilet seat and broken shower screen. Ultimately, I was spending little time in my room apart from sleeping so it didnt really impact me. However, when I brought it to the attention of the front desk in the morning - they were like "meh"!

Location was pretty good. Breakfast was ok.
Value to cost ratio. Room rates were sky high as we were there during the Arts Festival and Tattoo. Might be a good value for the money if not during high season

Wonderful
The room was lovely, and I especially appreciated the spacious and comfortable bathroom with a great shower. The hotel itself was peaceful and quiet, making it easy to relax. Breakfast was a highlight—there was a generous buffet that even included a pancake machine (a fun first for me!) and a separate gluten-free bread station, which was a thoughtful touch. The internet worked well, and the location was very convenient—close to both the main attractions and the train station.
I only stayed for one night. Everything went smoothly, so there wasn’t anything I didn’t like.

Liked the hotel and it was comfortable
Booking.com advertised that it was on the royal mile, it isn't. They also advertised outside drinking area, it hasn't. Not the hotels fault

Pleasant
The location. The front desk staff. Comfortable bed.
The room has very poor lighting.
There is NO drawer or wardrobe.
The lift is erratic n has no logic to its stops, takes for ever to come. We only used the staircase!!
The breakfast spread is adequate but food quality has much to improve.
At over £450 per night, definitely not value fr the amount paid.
We will not be staying here next time.

Disappointing
Breakfast was cold and not a nice place to eat. I booked a twin room and got a small double but it had a settee and they converted it to another bed not value for the money. They gave us a drink for the inconvenients (bottle of pop).
It was clean and in the centre of Edinburgh.

Wonderful
The breakfast was well cooked, would have liked more fruit options but the choice is okay.
Went for the Fringe and it was a great location for that yet in a quiet area.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
Nothing, all good.
