Lovely atmosphere as soon as you enter. Staff were excellent. Location for the Royal Mile, Castle, Dynamic Earth, Holyrood Palace, Scottish Parliament all great. Bit of a longer walk to Princes Street and Waverley Station but not to bad.

Really helpful from first contact (phone call when we couldn't find how to get to the entrance of the underground car park at the rear of the building). Fantastic shower and comfy beds with seating area. Great location close to Palace of Holyrood, where we were attending an event. Great choice of breakfast - hot, cold and al a carte including vegetarian. Gorgeous pool and sauna available 6.30am-10pm (weekdays). Upgraded to M Club with a quiet pleasant lounge with complimentary drinks and snacks as well as outdoor terrace.
Air con set at 22°C, glad we turned it down before bed as the duvets were rather thick. Edinburgh is an expensive city to stay in and this was at the top end but absolutely worth it.

Disappointing
Great location, room was lovely, clean, bed very comfortable.
Evening restaurant food was fair at best. Breakfast was inedible,tasted like someone had tipped a tub of salt into the scrambled eggs. Fresh fruit salad delicious. No draught beers available. Staff used fingers to place fruit into drinks - however used tongs when prompted. Stayed in this hotel 4 times previously. Very disappointed this time. For the price paid on this occasion (£349) I doubt I'd return, shame.

Unable to get the discount from Dynamic Earth car park. No one in the car park, was asked to go up to the office, but the lift was out of order.

We did not eat at the hotel
The refrigerator in our room didn't work upon arrival. We had a bit of a go around when we notified the front desk. We had already bought perishable food so we needed a remedy. We asked for a new fridge to be brought to the room and were advised there wasn't one. We ended up packing back up and moving rooms.

Good location and wide breakfast choice. Rooms clean and spacious.
Only has 15 car park spaces at £25. We got last one luckily but think they would be free if staying.

Everything was perfect. The bed was a bit uncomfortable
Your foyer has a very strong cleaning scent and from what I understand there is a hygienic spray that is used to kill germs. It is very strong and affected my breathing. I am very sensitive to scented products
