Stayed for two nights at the end of September on Hilton rewards and the hotel was very good. We arrived late and check in was easy, the hotel bar had a good atmosphere and the room was fine. The outside of the hotel and the inside public space felt very grand, with a large sweeping staircase and large corridors on the floors. It is nice to stay in a hotel like this given most of the ones I stay in are modern and pretty much the same inside. The breakfast was pretty good, with a large enough choice, particularly with the cooked breakfast.
The location of the hotel was also pretty good, being slap bang in the main shopping area of the town and close to plenty of bars and restaurants. This meant it was a bit of a hike up the hills to the tourist parts of the city but that was no bother for us. The hotel staff were also very friendly and happy to help which is what you would expect, but I don't always find this to be the case of course.
The only negative point was the bed which was a bit soft and creeky for me, but that is only a minor gripe and I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is staying in Edinburgh.
