Room and corridor very cold on arrival
Bathroom very cramped
Event taking place meant small doorway to hotel was full of people drinking and smoking

Very comfortable hotel in a great location in the city centre. Good breakfast. Room nicely appointed. Staff welcoming and friendly.
I know that I booked the smallest room type, but it really was very small for 2 people. No overhead light so hard to see. Nowhere to put toilet bag in bathroom - a small shelf would have been helpful. Better quality hairdryer would also have been appreciated.

It's a real five-star hotel! The facilities are great! The best location in the city to see everything around. Very comfortable, clean rooms, wonderful decoration (everything is even more beautiful in person than in the photos). The hotel staff are very friendly!
Breakfast with a lot of variety and a lot of quality, it's EXCELLENT!
Don't worry about it! Any request or problem that arises, just talk to the reception. They will do everything to help you!

God beliggenhed
Meget slidt og ikke rent. Meget lydt og et meget larmende ventilationsanlæg. Der var ikke styr på enkle ting som room service og TV-kanaler, Chrome cast med mere. Rengøringspersonalet gjorde kopper og glas rene i vasken på badeværelset. Meget uhygiejnisk!!! Morgenmaden var decideret kedelig. Og sidst men ikke mindst var der absolut intet fokus på bæredygtighed!

A good location in Edinburgh New Town. A fine building. The staff were professional pleasant and very well mannered. Excellent breakfast. Not a stuffy hotel but relaxing.
7.0
Breakfast was a little disappointing. The music was loud and incessant and I question whether there needs to be any. The member of staff greeting guests for breakfast conveyed a sense of panic and this is a perfect example of the need for more haste and less speed - he exuded stress rather than calmness which at breakfast guests are looking for.

Everything was fine

The location
Had to change room due to needing a floor level shower which I had booked but given a shower over a bath. Took reception 35 minutes to decide if we can have a change of room. The shower then flooded the bathroom floor! The room was very dark little light, put makeup in bathroom with flooded floor. Noise from rubbish, glasses being disposed of most of the night and early morning. Coke in the room no bottle opener. Requested more water did not arrive also requested bath towels which took 40 minutes to arrive.
9.0
The staff were so incredibly friendly and helpful.
The rooms are large and comfortable too!
Some of the breakfast service was slow and there was little sound proofing between rooms so you could hear the TV and conversation of those next door.

De locatie is geweldig. Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.
Het ontbijt leek in eerste instantie wat mager in de buffetvorm voor dit klasse hotel. Later bleek dat op verzoek ook ontbijt werd gemaakt in de keuken. De badkamer is relatief klein.
9.0
Good location; friendly staff; comfortable beds; good tea facilities. An elegant looking building.
Customised system on the LGTV didn't work, most of the children's TV channels bar tiny-pop didn't load, and the system to connect your phone using a URL (or the same via qr code) failed to resolve whilst on the hotel WiFi.
The windows didn't do much to block sound, waking us at 4am to drunk students wondering down the back road shouting at each other.

Excelente habitación, me encantó el desayuno en la habitación. El personal muy amable, quiero destacar a Hal, quien fue muy atento en todo momento y también me ayudó con una situación personal, estoy muy agradecida. Además al llegar a la habitación había una notita de bienvenida del Manager on Dutty con un pequeño presente. Lo cual fue un detalle maravilloso. Hotel bellísimo, vale cada dolar pagado.
La cama me pareció un poco dura, pero eso generalmente es tema de gustos. Y lo otro es que la ubicación es buena, pero al no encontrarse en la Royal Mille debíamos coger taxi diariamente, ya que hay una subida muy pronunciada para llegar allá caminando (no apta para enfermos cardíacos) Si te gusta caminar o hacer ejercicio, está perfecta la ubicación.

Beautiful room, spacious, excellent location and staff were very helpful. Even when I needed some extras that I'd forgotten, they were happy to help. The hotel manager was also extremely helpful.
I pre-paid with Booking.com, hotel didn't receive the payment through their own system, resulting in me being double charged and a bit of a stressful experience getting the money back, however, the hotel manager also gave me goodwill which I thought was very kind and would encourage me to return despite a payment system issue

Great location. Close to the Castle and the Royal Mile. Breakfast was excellent.
Well stocked with tea, coffee, etc.
The bar was adequate but overall disappointing.
Bathroom was very small and difficult to move around.
There was blood on one of the pillows when we moved in that stayed there for another night so clearly linens were not refreshed.

Everything was great
Only one thing was we came back from shopping had lovely meal drinks
And we’re having nice time chatting Xmas songs on in our room
We’re got knock at our door that someone had complaint about Loud music which it wasn’t. My sister and her daughter told the girl at the desk when checking out on the 13/12/23
They were we’re not happy room 362 and room 462

This is my 3rd year stay and was very disappointed my daughter sister and niece stayed over and we were just back to the hotel from Xmas shopping and a complaint went in for noise which was ridiculous we were chatting laughing I couldn’t believe someone would complain we did go down to reception to raise our concern I don’t think I will be back lady on desk took my email address but still haven’t heard from hotel
Just the way we were treated which was totally unacceptable

Ideally situated
We had a king premium room which backed on to an alley where glass bottles were being thrown in the trash at ridiculous hours during the night and from 6am, absolutely awful.

Decorated beautifully for Christmas, great location. Warm and comfortable as it was freezing!
There was nothing to dislike about the property.
10.0
Beautiful historic building, restored beautifully inside and out. The service is 5* and you are looked after from walking through the front door, which is opened for you to the moment you leave. Attention to detail is phenomenal.
My only wee grumble would have been breakfast. It would have been better for a menu for individual cooked dishes on the table, we hadn’t realised there was a choice other than the buffet breakfast, which was still very good I may add. We had a vegetarian in the party and would have been better to had the choice of more that was on offer at the buffet. The filter coffee was weak, however upon asking we were promptly brought an Americano.
4.0
There was a good breakfast choice, the location was central and the hotel was very clean. But that's where the positives end.
There was no mini bar in the room, the decor was tired, the bathroom was ridiculously small, we were asked to leave the bar at midnight on our first night, mattress toppers really thin. Overall poor value for money. The evacuation of the hotel in the middle of the night for a false fire alarm summed up our stay. Won't be back.

Room was up a lift then down a lift so just better to be on one floor
6.0
Great location, lovely building and clean rooms
However, the room was tiny and we were woken up by the fire alarm that went off twice at 1am and our room was next to the storage cupboard and this kept waking us up in the morning. When speaking to the staff about this on check out, they didn’t seem to care and didn’t say sorry or anything.. poor service and a bad nights sleep!
7.0
Perfect location for train station, tourist attractions and restaurants/pubs. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bed was very comfortable and room was cosy!
We were in a separate part of the hotel which was not accessible via any lift and was quite complicated to find. Without attentive staff, we would have never found it. Also the bath was very small, thankfully the shower was good. Television in room was very temperamental too.
