Summary: Nice room, friendly staff, good food and great location for exploring Edinburgh.

STEVEN Jan 7, 2026 05:15:18 PM

Summary: Absolutely amazing suite I had. Beautiful decor luxurious finish , stunning bathrooms. Great cinema too. Rooms are immaculate and spacious. Breakfast was ok. I asked for eggs royale , wasn’t hot. Salmon cold. My only slight complaint

Cathie Jan 5, 2026 10:18:02 PM

Summary: We stayed for a short break to celebrate my daughters birthday and first time visit to Edinburgh. The staff were welcoming and helpful but when we entered our room the smell of sewage coming from the bathroom was awful! We called reception and were told they'd send someone up straight away. After 20+ minutes no one had arrived so we had to speak to reception again on our way out for the afternoon. Nice touch of a bottle of Prosecco in our room, but overall the room was a bit unkept, stains on the carpet, curtain and lampshade and dust on the panelling. Tea/coffee wasn't replenished and had to call reception for fresh milk. We didn't use all of the amenities although we did stop for a cocktail in the Grand Cafe, sadly these were small and extremely overpriced, one glass even had a huge block of ice in it and barely any drink! Disappointingly breakfast was served in what seemed to be a converted meeting room, not a restaurant or the like. Even though the hotel was beautiful, staff helpful and was convenient and centrally located, I doubt we'd stay again

Summary: Room was cold as heating wasn't working I called reception and they brought a heater to the room.

Troy Dec 31, 2025 01:12:11 AM

Summary: Room was very clean, staff very helpful, breakfast was lovely and the bar very enjoyable with nice atmosphere. However room 807 wasn’t anything like the website category which is what made us choose this room grade and pay a bit extra as it was a special occasion celebrating my 60th birthday. The room was in the roof, so slanted ceilings and quite dark and the only way we could see the city view was through the roof velux windows and if on top toes as we had to lean over the table and lamps. The website also led us to believe there was a little table and chairs in the room, of which we were hoping to have a breakfast at one if the mornings whilst watching the world go by. Shame as everything else about the hotel was just what we wanted.
