Stayed here because my favourite budget hotel was full. The room was a good size but shabby, with a nast sour smell in the bathroom. View from the room was great, and the breakfast was excellent with attentive staff. But the room was mediocre at best. more

We recently stayed at the Ramada for a weekend break, when we arrived the receptionist advised us that we were being upgraded to a room on the 7th floor as we had picked an expensive package?? Unfortunately the room was on the smoking floor and while we were assured that the room had been aired out the smell of stale... more

Good hotel for sightseeing in Edinburgh. However, we had a smoking room and it smelled awful, but that our fault, requesting the smoking room. The hotel is centrally located and is walking distance from the train station. If you are lucky you can get a room facing the castle. The bar was nice and although we didnt eat at the... more

You could not wish for a better location than Princes Street; close to the attractions, not far from the main railway station and with views of the castle. Check in was efficient and the staff were friendly. The public areas are well appointed and in good condition. The room itself was quite small and probably in need of re-decoration soon... more

Had evening meal in the restaurant one night and was pleasantly surprised with the fish dish that I had. Large fillet of fresh... more

Arrived here with mixed feelings after reading some previous reviews. After negotiating the road works we arrived in the foyer, had to get the cases up several steps to the lifts (only one working, the other was being upgraded although there was no work being done during our stay). Reception on the first floor where we had an efficient check-in... more

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights 27th-30th March 2009. Staff where friendly and helpful but the general ambiance of the hotel was 'a little tired' Only one lift was working as the other was being renewed which meant very long waits to get up to the room or down to reception. The room was adequate but small and the... more
