Brilliant location, very handy to Waverley train station and the tram in from the airport. Rooms were huge and extremely comfortable, massive bed, daily newspaper delivered and a whiskey with lovely crystal glasses left out for guests to enjoy!
Moving around can be slow given there are only 1-2 small lifts but aside from that, faultless stay!

Historic building in a great location with modern, comfortable rooms.
Room was a bit tight and price on the higher side.

Check in was simple, breakfast offered lots of choice, Reception staff were warm and welcoming, breakfast room staff were an absolute delight, location is perfect and so central, ambience of the room and the hotel is perfect, our room was quiet.
The pillows were a little lumpy and maybe needing to be replaced

Disappointing
I ordered the continental breakfast and it was 50 pounds, no milk for coffee, used the milk in room. Totally overpriced and complete waste of money.
Room was on floor 2, dark hallways, room had odor. Not impressed at all. Window faced an alley. We called for room service to the bar, 4 calls never answered. Checked with front desk for correct phone number to call thinking maybe it changed, never answered, left a message which was not returned.
