Sooo disappointing

Started at check in, booked in with another couple. They had a large room with a view on the 6th floor, was given Prosecco on arrival. We were given a room for a disabled person, no offer of Prosecco. Asked reception to change from disabled room as it felt very uncomfortable. Told, the hotel was fully booked but after practically begging was given the smallest room ever on the first floor but felt underground and in the basement. The building work outside the room was so loud and there were men sat having a break. View was sooo bad. Only one towel so had to ask. Staff very unhelpful. Had a random member of staff just walk straight into our room when we were getting changed. When we said to the receptionist on check out that our stay was so disappointing compared to our friends she completely ignored us and said “thank you, have a nice day” we paid £767 for a 2 night stay that was not worth the money!

Nice place to stay, expensive breakfast

Great location, but expensive breakfast that wasn’t included in our booking. Comfortable room - happy to have washcloths and 4 pillows without having to ask. Excellent maid service and comfortable lobby.

Despite the price which, like that of all Edinburgh hotels in August, was much higher than usual, i actually thought that it was worth every penny thanks to the friendliness and the professionalism of the staff in the bar, the restaurant and at reception. One of my favourite hotels!

cannot rate likes as the construction around the property affected the atmosphere. our room view was the bins, not appealing. with the fringe and tattoo on, it would have been nice to have the pub open for late night returners. yes there were many pubs on the walk back, but all too crowded. the room price may have been in line with all other hotels, but it was too high. I was going to book another night but it was higher, so despite loving edinburgh, further city stays are out. on the good side, all staff were helpful and friendly
