The hotel is in a good location and within walking distance to the Edinburgh Castle and other highlights in Edinburgh. It has a very good breakfast, offering a selection of food, cereals, fruits and sweets. The staff were very helpful and courteous - we had a plumbing mishap and they dealt with it promptly and with commendable professionalism, making sure our stay could continue without disruption.
The lighting in the room was quite dim, and there is room for improvement on this, however the hotel was otherwise perfect for our short stay in Edinburgh.

Excellent location, very close to a lot of the Edinburgh sights
The bathroom shower flooded the entire floor because there was no shower tray. I think it was meant for wheelchair access.
One of the lights in the bedroom was broken.
Breakfast was very basic and very few healthy options. My wife just ate an apple!
We felt it was totally over priced for the quality of accomodation.

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

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.
