    Our room was warm, comfortable and clean. We had a view over the city and could see the castle in the distance. The staff were helpful and efficient. We had a nice meal in the bar in the evening and a very good breakfast the following morning.

    Room, although large and comfortable, was a little tired and had a view of bins. Ask for the 2nd floor if you want a better view.

    Location ideal for a bus into city centre. Breakfast was good and staff very friendly.

    Room was private enough if you kept the blind down. Considering how cheap the room was we expected a lot less for the price we paid.

    Perfect location for peaceful break. Not too far from city centre but far enough away to enjoy both sides of Edinburgh . Breakfast highly recommended as well.

    I feel more staff could have been available on reception desk when times were busy and we waited for a long time because a customer in front was taking so long. Also didn’t like the bar nibbles of bread and olive oil because this felt like leftover toast from breakfast. I was excited to have some quality bread. Was also sad my chocolate strawberries I ordered weren’t available when I got to the hotel but I hadn’t been informed.

    Convenient location close to bus stop and easy access to city centre. Breakfast was good with a selection of cereals, pastries, yoghurt and cooked breakfast. Liked the king size bed and spacious bedroom. Staff were helpful and friendly, making our trip run smoothly.

    We were in the rooms in an adjacent building, although amazing room, it was very cold and windy to go outside to walk over to the hotel for supper at night.

    Beautiful hotel with stunning views. We had an amazing room which were huge and very comfortable. Supper in the onsite restaurant was absolutely amazing!

    The bathroom ceiling had cracks, and the paint on the walls was flaking off, most likely due to moisture. Before advertising the room, these things should have been maintained as this is a hotel and not an airbnb.

    I liked the architecture of the building and the victorian style, the interior design was nice as well with the Christmas decorations. The bus stop right outside the hotel made the transportation easier.

    Being told that they could provide gluten free Sausages for my husband who is coeliac at breakfast, but then to be told they don't have any.

    Great Service from Jake at Reception, nothing was to much trouble. A great advert for the Hotel. Made our weekend very special.
