Good but not great
Lovely staff & nice hotel let down by a few little things. (Heating in the room was broken so a portable oil heater was provided instead. Single glazed windows made the room cold & noisy. The bedside drawers had been fixed shut and there were no shelves in the wardrobe.) The room was a decent size. Breakfast was good. Location excellent.
Room needed a deep clean. Toilet flush broke twice. Shower leaked all over the bathroom and a broken floor tile and others need grouted and for a 4 star hotel which cost a lot of money these things are unacceptable
This is a fantastic hotel in a great location in Edinburgh. All of the sites and transportation were only a few minutes walk from the front door. The staff was nice and extremely helpful. My room was nice and beautifully decorated. The hotel also has great restaurants which added a lot to my trip.
