Having had a near perfect stay there a few weeks ago, I booked a night for my family as part of my 50th Birthday Weekend. The Apartment and the Breakfast food were both excellent, however the service was not up to standard.
In each of my five dealings with staff errors were made. In complaining about seven separate issues the duty manager tried to pass blame back to me on two of them. It escalated to the Director of Group Operations who described my complaints as "tiny" and felt I had paid the right amount for the service I received. (I paid full rack). He promised to guarantee a perfect stay next time. Assuming of course I would want to.
I do not consider wasting an hour and a half of my time on a one night stay, or fumbling about in the shower because of a broken soap-holder, (especially as I had an injured arm) "tiny" .
I stay in lots of hotels, and mistakes of course happen. However for Number 1 in Trip Advisor Edinburgh and Scottish Hotel of the Year 2012 I do expect complaints to be dealt with in a proper manner. One word sums up the response: arrogant.
