Perfectly located in the center of all tourist sites. Pleasant staff. Clean rooms and facilities. Construction outside hotel makes the exterior unattractive.

The best thing about the property is the location! A few minutes to the Royal Mile and a few minutes to the Train Station. I stayed 4 nights, and only requested room servicing on one day. The staff didn’t show up till late afternoon when I had already returned to the room having been out all morning/afternoon. So didn’t get the desired room servicing. The bathroom had a towel rack but in the shower, so had to move the towel to keep it dry when showering. Also no waste basket in bathroom. Moreover, the bathroom door was not hung properly so it slammed shut every time it was opened. Probably noise loud enough to disturb nearby guests. Location makes for A . Service and design dysfunction/inattention a C.

This is a lovely hotel in a phenomenal location. It's convenient for Edinburgh's old town and within 2 minute's walk of Waverley Station. We had a room overlooking the street and railway but we didnt hear a sound from outside. The bed was really big and comfortable and I had a great night's sleep. The curtains were adequate although not completely blackout. I didn't pay the extra for breakfast as I felt it was expensive. That said, I would most definitely stay again.
