I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and during this stay I had no hot water! I had travelled with 3 other couples and they endured the same problem. Promises were made that this would be rectified and I doubt it has been as I write this now. We were made to walk through the hotel to the other... more

We had booked this hotel for a special birthday celebration. On arrival on friday 13th our first problem was that there was no key to the room and in the end we had to have the master key and were told one could not be cut until Monday. Our next hiccup was that the television did not work so we... more

We stayed the same time as the group from Yorkshire and our experience couldn't have been any different. The room was lovely, the staff were extremely helpful and the public rooms both beautiful and comfortable. The only off-putting thing about the hotel was on coming down to go out for dinner on Saturday night there were a number of very... more

Stayed at the hotel from Friday until Sunday. No hot water for the duration, no phone in the room to call reception, no manager to complain to. The concierge was absolutely spot on and was unlucky to be copping it in the neck from disgruntled customers. They have supposedly suspended payment for the room until I receive a telephone call... more

Our room was the most spacious we've ever stayed in and had bags of storage space! It was clean and very comfortable and came with tea/coffee making facilities, iron, hairdryer, slippers, dressing gown, trouser press, ironing board, shampoo and soap, tv. The maid serviced our room everyday and we always had fresh towels, tea/coffee making facilties. The lighting in our... more

We just loved this hotel and felt there like home. We stayed 2 nights and received a so fantastic warm welcome from all the staff, the room was so cosy that we wished we had booked for longer. It is true, it's not "perfect", some furniture of the room was defect but we just felt as it was our home....... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night during the Edinburgh Tattoo, it was a more that we wanted to pay for one night but this was the cheapest accomodation available. We were in a double room and it was beautiful. There was a huge bathroom containing a bath, shower, toilet, two sinks and more than enough room to fit... more

Situated a short 10 minutes from the City Centre in a quiet side street - had a ground floor room at the front of the hotel but absolutely no traffic noise. Loved the huge, comfortable bed. Hotel is self-rated 4 Star but I think 3 or 3+ would be closer to the mark. Hope to come back again. more
