We were chewed up by bed bug bites. Run down hotel with no elevator and no one to help us with suitcases dragging them up a winding marble staircase. Hotel is on a noisy street and you constantly awakened all night by traffic. Drain in sink didn’t work properly. The front desk did nothing to reduce our bill due to all our bites. Kept saying they had no authority to give us one night free out of three nights booked. This hotel needs complete rehabbing. Stay away!

Fabulous stay. The lift didn’t work for the several days I was there, so my room on the third floor was a bit (woof) difficult to run back and forth to. Service was otherwise fabulous. Great location !

The property was beautiful especially the lobby and the restaurants. The check in desk was a bit hard to find. Entrance for hotel guests was hidden behind what looked like a linen closet.

This property is a lot of fun. It is stylishly decor has a lot of personality. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous. I stayed in the Georgian mini suite, and it was exceptional. The only slight drawback is that I could hear slight thumping coming from the club two stories below.

This hotel is very eclectic. Very cool decor and super friendly staff. Breakfast was included and was delicious. Beautiful large restaurant and bar area that was very busy but no noise that bothered us in our room. Room was spacious. Would be happy to stay there again if we get back to Edinburgh.

We came in late at night and the desk clerk who also seemed to be the waiter, bartender and bellman helped us to our room . His gracious attitude made us feel welcome. After traveling hard on a 5 day equestrian tour- the room was big, inviting and comfortable. We would stay here again.
