Fantastic hotel

Stayed here with my daughter and could not fault the place. Rooms compact and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. Would have liked a small fridge, however pretty minor In the scheme of things. Breakfast was delicious. Every member of staff were polite, helpful and cheerful. Want to give a shout out to the Scottish fella on reception who extremely helpful with recommendations. Didn't catch his name. Finally location was brilliant. 5 mins walk from Waverley station.

Brilliant location

Location couldn’t be better, view of the Castle, within walking distance of the Royal Mile and all attractions. Worth paying for an upgraded room as view from front of the hotel is great. Work does start at 8 in the week at the building next door but not that bad. All staff were lovely and worth paying £12 for breakfast

They have spent a lot of money to bring this hotel up to date, its just a pity that they never invested on some of the internal fittings. Bathroom door had seen better days and some of the fttings were hanging off or brocken. And although new carpets had been fitted there was dips underneath.

In transition

This hotel has a great location and potentially a great hotel. You walk in in the elevator that helps you go up to six steps is out of order and was for the whole week. The sewer had backed up and the smell in the elevator,was revolting. Putrid. They did their best, but it was unbearable. they blamed it on the storm that had just passed through, but it had been over a week. I was on the sixth floor and they are renovating a few of the rooms. There was plastic covering the carpets and workers were there all day but they were pretty quiet. The room was very pleasant looking however, the air conditioning and heat was a little bit of a problem, as it was new. They are transitioning from radiators to central air. The radiator worked great… When it worked. The last negative thing I have to say is the bed… Not hotel quality. Hard as a rock and very cheap. They need to upgrade their mattresses to more of a pillow top Kush type of mattress. now that I got all of the negative things out of the way. I cannot say enough about the service and the view. The service was top-notch and the view was spectacular. The staff was so accommodating and lovely. The breakfast was good and worth 11£. However, the eggs have something to be desired. The chef needs to work on that. The fish and chips I had for dinner were delicious. Like I mentioned in the title, this hotel is in transition. Hopefully in another month, it’ll be finished. In the end, great staff, great view great service and great locati

The view from my room onto the castle was lovely, and the location is really central. It can get a bit noisy though since it’s on a main Street.

Major building works.

The hotel is very clean and the staff very professional and helpful. The breakfast extremely expensive if you pay on the day £19 but £11 if you book the day before ( I never know if I’ll be hungry the day before). I was woken up by heavy drilling from apparently building work being carried out next door. There was no notice on the website about this and I would definitely not recommend this hotel for that reason.

Perfect location, nice enough for the price

The hotel is in the best location you could wish for. Everywhere is walking distance and the views look out over Princes street and the castle. I was really happy with the price because of the location The initial foyer and dining room are nice enough. The rooms are a decent size and clean enough. But you stay here for the location. I think overall it’s good value. However, over a couple of days the lifts and hallway was a bit smelly The main issue here isn’t external noise, it’s noise from the hallway inside. The walls must be thin because it sounded like people were inside my room! It was not helped because they had a large group of teenagers staying at the same time who were shouting in the halls and banging on doors. I can’t blame the hotel for this (they couldn’t know what they would do) but it really emphasised how easily sound travels inside Staff were lovely and friendly and will do anything to help. Breakfast was lovely Last thing is the bar. I had a drink, it’s tasted horrible, but staff told me that’s how it should taste……definitely not. So I had to just pour it away Anyway, if you want central location, you will Not find a better price and for that price, the hotel is nice enough.

You all need to try their cream tea option at the restaurant. Tea with scones! Best scones ive had in my life. Ive been to many high teas in my life and this beats all. Every single bite felt like i was having an out of body experience. The hotel staff were very friendly and accomodating to our needs. Very walkable to majority of the attractions and the view from the restaurant is beautiful. Definitely would stay again!
