Perfect location for a business visit to the Scottish Parliament and a block away from the Royal Mile. Its a 10 minute walk to the Castle assuming you can resist the pubs that line the route.

Quick and efficient check-in and a good-sized traditionally furbished room. My TV remote was non-functioning which wasn't as bad as someone in our party who's TV didn't work at all.

Late night service in the ground floor bar was entertaining and efficient. Prices, expectedly, were double those of nearby pubs like the World's End.

The bed was comfortable so I got a good night's sleep.

So far so good.

In the morning we took breakfast at an extra £17.50 and things went wrong.

For the price I'd expect a wide choice and quick accurate service - especially since this is a business hotela nd people are in a hurry. What we got was unacceptable.

Breakfast splits into a cold buffet table and menu ordered hot meals. It took 10 minutes before I was asked whether I wanted coffee and another 10 minutes and a reminder before it arrived. That seemed to be par for the course and other guests were complaining. When the hot food arrived it was adequate but no more.

Meanwhile those in our party that only wanted cold items (still £17.50) discovered that basics like croissants had run out.

All-in-all a poor, sub-standard breakfast service that will see me go elsewhere next time no matter how good the rooms might be. If you do stay, skip breakfast, save money and eat locally where your business will be valued so the service will be good.

hotel is one street back from the royal mile,15 minute walk to waverly train station.Everything is fine for a 4 star hotel.only problem was noise from nearby bar or club which went on very loudly until approx midnight.if you want an early night kip dont risk going here.Not really worth the £220 i paid for 2 nights for a double.Breakfast was an extra £17.50 each per day,which i declined,there are plenty places to eat nearby.all in all if you end up here its fine but look for somewhere else better value!!!!!

First of all i just want to say 11 of us went for a stag doo one of my mates is getting married so we had an excellent time the town and people was excellent it really is a nice city, let me tell you bout the hotel the breakfast was £17.50 what a joke and there was 2 of us sharing a room we both ordered a burger meal each they was £16.00 each and an extra £5.00 each for room service so all said and done two meals cost us £42.00 what a total rip of they really need to have a look at the prices in the hotel the cleaning was excellent but also when checking out they charge you £20.00 per night for your car to be parked on a side street so people be aware thankyou.

The hotel was at the wrong end of Old Town for us meaning we had 15min walk to restaurants and pubs that we liked but that made us appreciate the pint more! We were really impressed by the size of the room, it was bright and spacious, including seating area as well as large comfortable bed, well soundproofed walls and good heavy blackout curtains. We had an evening meal in the restaurant and although it was void of atmosphere the food was delicious. Concierge staff are very knowledgeable of the area and were able to recommend some excellent events ('Taste of Scotland' evening at the Prestonfield Hotel, 4 course meal/wine + 2hrs scottish entertainment including dancers/bagpipes/accordian/scottish tenors - £49pp)
We availed of hotel leisure facilities too, all toiletries provided including cosy towelling robes and slippers in our room to wear to the pool. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay feeling well rested and pampered by the time we came home.
