Pleasant
It was walking distance to the train station. There was a charming little bar, but no one used it. The bartender was only on premises one time we tried. Interesting portraits of authors in the common areas. There was some delightful cafes and bars in the neighborhood. The hotel room was quiet.
Our room ended up being on the 3rd floor with no elevator.
The furnishings were probably stylish at one time but were looking a little shabby and dated. The bed was two pushed together twin mattresses and was not comfortable. The staffing was spotty at best, and the front desk was infrequently occupied. Amenities were limited.

The property is in a great location next to St James Quarter. There’s a lovely bar/seating area. The room was beautiful, very big with a huge bed, side, small table for eating at and double sink in the bathroom.
The staff were super friendly and helpful.

A very nice hotel, located within walking distance of tram stations, shopping centers, restaurants and tourist attractions.
The lovely staff member who welcomed us, David, was so caring and friendly, and ensured our stay was as comfortable and pleasant as possible!
The rooms are lovely and come with tea, coffee and delicious shortbread cookies.
The room is adequate, though not very large.
There is no elevator in the hotel as it is a historic building, which meant we had to lug our suitcases down to the lower levels.
Additionally, there are no safes in the rooms, though the kind staff member, David, offered to keep our valuables secure at the hotel reception.
It is also a pity that there are no power outlets closer to the bed.
While none of these are major issues and most of them were known to us in advance, it is a bit unfortunate given the high room price.

The location is very convenient and close to railway, trams and bus station. Breakfast was tasty and not just the usual Scottish breakfast.
The room was a bit stuffy and would have been too hot if the weather had been any warmer. Access to fresh air would have been appreciated.

Very nice location with plenty to do within walking distance. We were able to access lovely walking paths, shopping, dining, Calton Hill, The Royal Mile, and of course Edinburgh Castle.
The staff were nice and accommodating.
We stayed in Room 3603, “cozy double room.” The space felt cramped and got very warm and stuffy at night.
The bathroom was almost as large as the sleeping area. I appreciate that it was wheelchair accessible bathroom however I struggle to understand how someone in a wheelchair would even get down to that room (no lift) and how they might navigate a wheelchair from the main door through the room into the bathroom.
The hairdryer failed, the bathroom also was not very clean. There was plenty of mold and mildew around the lower edges of the wall.
Since this was listed as a 4-Star hotel, it came up fairly short of expectations.
