United Kingdom Historic Vacations

Single room was awful. It was cold and no heating came on at all. Plus the room needed a big upgrade. Cracks in the bathroom and grubby paintwork. From the outside it was like walking into a cupboard as the bedroom door opened out into the hall. A very hard mattress too. The shower sprayed water from below the shower head. Had to run the tap in the sink for a while before there was any hot water. Complained in the morning, no apologies, and I got another single room which was a slight improvement. The heating was only on for a short while and no more heating came on for the rest of the stay. Filthy cup on arrival in the 2nd room and splash marks all down the side of the bathroom wall too. Breakfast was OK but hot food was just warm. I will be writing to the Manager about the above complaints.

We had a wonderful, large room looking over Princes Street. We stayed in February which meant that the rate was very reasonable. We visited the in-house cinema one night - this makes this hotel pretty unique. We would definitely stay here again if coming to Edinburgh.

Great breakfast, wonderful staff and really good location. My only negative comment is the pull down blinds were quite tattered and safe wasn’t working on check in but they replaced safe door right away and taped up blinds to provide darkness in room. They were very responsive to my room issues and everyone I met was beyond nice and helpful. The Scottish breakfast was wonderful!! I 1000% appreciate that they provided my requested room! Thank you!! I will stay there next year because they are such good people!! And good room!

unique castle setting, bar and restaurant were great

The location is fantastic, everything was walkable. We had great views of Edinburgh Castle. Lots of places to eat around the area. The room had two queen size beds for four adults. Lots of storage in the room. Bed were comfortable, the bathroom is ok, could have used some upgrades especially the shower.

Great location with loads of restaurants near by. All the staff were attentive and friendly. Couldn’t fault. Paul on the front desc was great

Amazing staff and the room was beautiful. Very clean. I thought leaving the key every time we left would be annoying but it wasn’t! Would definitely recommend!

We had such a lovely welcome from Zoe, she was really friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and had everything we needed. Bed super comfy. Breakfast was really tasty and great selection. Staff took the time to greet us. Unfortunately we were only staying one night, would have loved to have time to visit the spa and pool. Thank you.
