It was a huge disappointment that our room was in a different building more like the servants quarters than the actual hotel. The furniture was chipped and the wallpaper pealing. Was really sad that I paid so much for one night to be placed in this tiny room. The beds where comfortable though. The big plus was the delicious breakfast and staff friendliness.

The staff were very pleasant. The room was clean and we had a nicely cooked breakfast. However the shower had very low flow of water which was cold, as was the sink, which detracted from our stay.

Staff friendly. Room basic and in need of being refurbished but was clean Breakfast rather limited in selection. Eggs and bacon both very oily. Sausages were good though. Convenient location close to bus routes and free parking. Overall a solid 3 star hotel which was good value .

For the money we paid the room was excellent. We had a lovely view of the park with a corner window which was Beautiful. The room was lovey and clean and we had tea coffee facilities, fresh towels and shampoo and shower gels. The breakfast was delicious for the money too. We would definitely revisit this hotel for the money we paid. The bus stop to Edinburgh city centre was right outside the hotel down some steps and ran very frequently. It only took 15 minutes to princess street and you could get to the Royal mile near the castle and there 10 minutes walk. Really good location and 100 value for money.

We've stayed here several times and the staff are always friendly and the food very good. It's in a great location with easy access to buses going to the centre, plus there's ample parking. Rooms vary - this time we booked two nights in a Deluxe which had a lovely view and spacious bathroom. The decor isn't perhaps what you would expect in such a grand Scottish building but the glitzy wallpaper and large silver horsehead bedside lamps might go as the hotel is currently being refurbished. For an Edinburgh stay in low season, it's very good value.
