Hotel location was ideal, especially the wonderful views of Arthur’s Seat. The swimming pool, a hidden gem, great way to start the day.
Nothing.

Swimming pool was great!
I didn't like gray walls, which made the ambiance dull.

Lovely very comfortable hotel in great quiet location just off the end of the Royal Mile. As our room was not ready when we arrived, we were given the option to take a room on the first floor instead which had access to the M Club Lounge. This included free tea and coffee all day, and free wine or beer and snacks from 6 pm to 9 pm each evening.
Nothing, everything was excellent and we had a lovely stay.

Room was very comfortable. Shower was great. Fantastic location.
Staff in the bar/restaurant weren’t great. Was ignored so much at one stage I was concerned I was a ghost. Could do with more staff, or staff that acknowledge waiting customers.
