Good
The room size was "very" generous. The room was tired looking, chairs sunk down, etc. It did have nice bathroom, but the door stuck as you opened/closed it. Minor problem to resolve we thought. I was very surprised to get an email from the hotel prior to arriving asking me to cancel my Booking reservation and book directly with the hotel. That does not at all seem right.
Restraint had pleasant food.

Room and location were superb! Staff were excellent , especially the Reception Team. Having the lemon water dispenser , and also hot chocolate in the afternoon at Reception was great. Nice touch to have the miniature whiskies as complimentary in the room! Would definitely recommend the hotel and would return there, next time I go to Edinburgh.
There was nothing that we didnt like!

Everyone is so friendly, helpful, and genuinely cares. It was close to the attractions that we wanted to visit. The building itself was amazing!

The location is excellent, beds and pillows are very comfortable, the interior design of the room is beautiful, room space was great, the free whisky touch was lovely and it was really good whisky, free milk in the morning was also much needed and it’s the attention to these details that makes a hotel 5 stars, free hot chocolate at the entrance also a nice touch
Road works happening at the time made entering and exiting the hotel awkward, but this is nothing to do with the hotel, perhaps maybe post on the website to let guests know

Disappointing
Very Dissapointed with the check in process, no details relating to Breakfast, Hotel facilities or Local recommendations. Had a query which went unresolved and despite asking twice, failed to receive contact from management. General areas around and outside the Hotel were grubby - Encountered a Rat on the Scotsman steps, indicating general poor hygiene.
