Nice but 1 small problem
T.Vs did not work in any of the rooms the weekend we went. Not a drama and didnt effect our stay but all we got was a "sorry" on check out and not even a discount on the overall bill or even a drink at the bar when reporting it.

Previously stayed at this hotel when it was under different ownership. Has been refurbished and was clean , modern and beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming- hot food was luke warm and not a great choice and it was self service coffee from a flask , a self servi e coffee machine woukd be nicer

Room and breakfast buffet
Our room was ok. We were in the first floor. It should have a ramp for the suitcases. I found the breakfast buffet ok. We were there for one week and a change would have been good.

We had a deluxe king room, the room itself was great however the room was dusty and didn’t seem to be cleaned as part of the daily turndown. I think this is highlighted more through there being black fixtures in the room, eg the lights and switches by the bed. The location of the hotel was really good to see all sides of Edinburgh.

Wonderful stay in Edinburgh. Property is located in a great spot, making many sights walkable. Room was comfortable although it got quite warm at night even with air con on. Breakfast was lovely but we wished there had been some vending and bottled water available near or in the room.

Rooms were spacious, clean and quiet.Great beds and nicely appointed. Dining was another matter. We spent 2 nights and the menu was fine, then took a 3 day tour of the Sky. When we returned the menu had completely changed and other than fish and chips, which we had been eating a lot of in London and Scotland, there was NOTHING on the menu my husband could eat. He is allergic to all things dairy (except eggs), sulfides, including shelfish, garlic, and onions, and does not eat meat (beef, lamb or pork). They removed the tuna fish sandwich and a quinoa bowl salad. We were very disappointed as the rest of our experianced here was great.
