Wonderful
The hotel is beautiful and the gym and pool are great! The bed was very comfortable
To go to the pool and gym you need to cross through the restaurant in your bath robes. Also the room had too much stuff, like kettle, coffee machine, chairs, hair drier… felt a bit cluttered.

Great location & room
The bar, lounge area is not very comfortable and a bit strange, not the luxury vibe I was expecting

Friendly check in and concierge
Bar staff tried to move us from an unreserved table, that was going to be reserved. There were other tables available. They gave us a free coffee after my partner complained to rectify but it left a bad feeling

Love this hotel! My second time staying. Love the decor the location, the super helpful and friendly staff. Really comfortable and spacious room. Breakfast is great as was baba where we had dinner the first night. That was the best meal I’ve had in quite a while!
My only gripe was the double bed. Pretty sure most hotels are kings or queens nowadays and the room could have easily accommodated a king. But I will accept that negative for all the above positives!

Lovely big window in room overlooking square. Location was good for us. Bedroom itself was spacious (not bathroom).
Bathroom incredibly small for what we were paying and didn't like old carpet in room. We checked in at 3:00PM and one of our rooms wasn't ready until 4:30PM. The next day we returned to our room at 4:00PM and room service had still not been in to clean the rooms. I found the restaurant menu too limited. I am allergic to bell peppers and chilli which didn't leave me much choice.

Poor
Unfortunately we didnt stay because we didnt like the style/branding look. Seemed very fake and weird. We were hoping for a more boutique hotel experience instead of a big chain. Felt with all the history in Edinburgh that the hotel didnt respect the culture. The interior could of been anywhere in the world. Staff were very helpful and understanding. We lost 500 pounds because of us deciding not to stay at your hotel.
very fake . Art work was strange and all the fake plants were awful. Finishes and colouring seemed cheap for a 5 star hotel

The complimentary drinks social hour was a really good idea. Its a win win situation, because it draws people together, and then of course we are going to continue at the bar, and then to Baba. Super first evening spent in hotel Went out for 2nd evening, after enjoying the pool facilities and facial and massage Michelle Allison very nice and professional

Location,staff in reception & garden cafe room friendly & helpful.
Room was smaller than looked on photo,sofa bed wasn't comfortable.There were 3 of us,only 2x bathrobes in room,2 x pairs of slippers,I x pr 2 left feet.This was to surprise my daughter for her 40th Birthday,my eldest daughter rang to organise bubbles & chocolates,the chocolates were in a very small box,I ordered the sweet dome,nothi ng like the photo,no cake to put the candles Id brought.Disappointed,nothing special in the room,not aware beforehand my grand- daughter could only use the pool at certain times,difficult when you have attractions booked.
