We truly enjoyed our stay at the hotel and overall had an excellent experience. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the service was attentive and warm, and the location is fantastic.
Unfortunately, our arrival started on the wrong note. At check-in, the representative at the front desk (who we later understood was actually the manager on her last day of work) behaved in a rude and unprofessional manner. She tried to push us into an unnecessary upgrade — suggesting we spend one night in a suite and then move to another room — while all we wanted was to stay in the room we had originally booked for the entire stay. We explained this politely and clearly, but she responded with unnecessary rudeness.
Thankfully, from that point on everything was exceptional. The rest of the team, including the management, were welcoming, professional, and went out of their way to make our visit special.
Despite the unpleasant check-in experience, we left with very positive impressions and would gladly recommend the hotel to others.

The best location, Next to train station
For the first night I stayed in room 806, many stairs to climb, especially with big luggage , not so convenient.

The staff was incredible and so helpful! Excellent recommendations for places to visit, how to navigate transportation issues (parking, etc) and just so lovely in general.
The bed in our room (508) was not very comfortable. Both of us had neck and shoulder pain after sleeping on it.

Location
Staff were unhelpful first room they put us in only had a small window high up in the wall they relocated us when we demonstrated that it was not what we booked wanted to charge £50 per night for new room
Whole episode was stressful
Toilet roll holder was broken for whole of our stay
Roadworks are causing massive problems when you arrive by car especially when it is pouring rain
Fortunately Sammy the concierge was very helpful in fact he was the only staff member who showed any guest service he was excellent

Location is perfect, just the center of the old town, few steps to Waverley Train station, and picturesque & historic building
The staff were very helpful, they even helped us to carry our baggages even inside the Waverley train station
Elevator and the corridors need to be renovated, the carpets look so dirty and old, but no problem with the rooms

Great location!
There was only one elevator that worked in the entire hotel. We had to drag heavy luggage up multiple stair levels when arriving to the hotel. They was no porter to help us with our luggage when we arrived.

We had a very cool room on the 8th floor, large bed, skylights, great bathroom. The central location of the hotel made it very easy to see all the sights of old Edinburgh.
A little awkward getting in and out of the hotel due to the never ending construction on the main street (out of the hotels hands of course).

The location was excellent for sightseeing & near to the train station. The room was well furnished with lots of room. There was a good choice at breakfast, & the staff were helpful & friendly.
Nothing.

Room was beautiful, spacious, and had great views!
This is not the fault of the hotel, but the noise from the street below was pretty loud. Our room was street-side, and the hotel has taken precautions by installing extra windows and heavy drapes, but construction and the vehicles kept running over this metal grate in the road that was VERY annoying. Again, not the hotels fault.
