This hotel is in a superb central location - which is one of it's only plus points. Me and my partner were lucky enough to get a room to the back of the hotel - so no traffic noise etc. However, the room itself wasn't so great for a 4 star rating, and considering how much it cost. There were... more

This hotel claims to be '4-star', but I'm not totally sure where they got the 4th one from. Very briefly; the food was average (even had to wait in a queue to be seated at breakfast!) and my room was below the standard anyone would expect. The furniture was OK (no complaints about the bed) but it was a real... more

I'd highly recommend this hotel for those looking for a central location or a romantic break. Our room was spacious and clean with a beautifully made bed and a fantastic view looking out on to the Royal Mile, and walking distance from the train and bus stations and main attractions of Edinburgh Castle etc. The bathroom was luxurious with a... more

Room was OK, but by a very noisy road. Used the fitness center which was dirty - sand in jacuzzi and pool. Breakfast was OK except you had to wait ages for anyone to bring you a cup of tea or coffee. Definitely not worth the money we paid. more

We stayed here whilst in Edinburgh for a friends wedding. Externally and internally, the hotel looks great. The staff are very welcoming and nothing was too much bother for them. Our room, whilst very comfortable, was small and was not really what I expected for the price we had paid. I would stay here again, but would look for a... more

Location - perfect for sightseeing. Most attractions within walking distance, easy access at Waverly station for busses and trains for out of town. Hotel - A good sized room, a bit dowdy but comfortable. We were on North Bridge side, a bit of traffic noise, best to ask for room on other side ! The small TV was a disappointment,... more

I was a little scared of staying here after reading some of the reviews, but my husband and I found this hotel very quaint. We had a corner room on the top floor facing the busy street. The "noise" didn't bother us one bit. We had two single beds that we pushed together to make one. They were wonderfully comfortable.... more

Stayed here 17.4.09 - 20.4.09. We found the staff great at this hotel, special mention to Mike the concierge, great with the children. Situated approx 30 mins bus ride from the airport. Breakfast was good, there is bar food available as well as a restaurant. The room was lovely and general standard of the hotel first class. The only real... more
