Location on cozy Grassmarket in the heart of Old Town is the strength of this hotel. After paying this (rather expensive) room a long time in advance (strict hotel booking policy) we were very dissappointed to find out that service and hotel standard definitely was not up to par. The reception acted as if they couldn't care less if we... more

Stayed here for three nights with my husband and our daughter, our friends and their children. Paid extra for a superior room but for shouldn't have bothered , due to poor standard of cleanliness and smell of damp in the bathroom.

If your'e staying here, upgrade to the Castle view. You will have an unimpeded, gorgeous view and a balcony with which you can sit on it and sip your whiskey. Perfect location to all attractions.

The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. We ate outside of the hotel but the room service breakfast the following morning was... more

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in september with 8 friends. The location is the best thing with this hotel. Great value for money! Everything is in walking distance. The city tourist bus does even stop right in front of the hotel. Friendly staff. We did not eat any meals at the hotel. It is easy to just... more

We recently got married at this hotel in August and cannot recommend it highly enough. The whole day was excellent from start to finish and all of our guests commented that the staff couldn't do enough for the guests. The food was excellent, organisation excellent (Susan deserves a medal) and was well planned by Sarah Jane. John was also a... more
