Beds comfortable, dinning great, love happy hour, would like breakfast during the week to be open earlier since we did day tours outside of city. Lobby was terrible, no coffee bar to take on the go and no trash receptacles inside or out. Could not get breakfast in our room. Staff was great and welcoming.

Sarah

I didnt like that i was slapped with a £20 deposit on top of an extortionate bill for a merely adequate room. I didnt like that we had to walk up numerous corridors and take 2 lifts to the room. I didnt like that the receptionist seemed not to know what an 'Emergency exit' was. I didnt like that the hotel was dark, unwelcoming and covered in scaffolding.

Very expensive for an average stay

We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. We received the online check in link but it did not work. I was very disappointed by the check in process at the desk. It was not friendly. There is also a lot of construction taking place. It was also complicated to get to our room. We had to take 2 elevators to get there. The stay was also very expensive.

This is a very conveniently located Hotel - right in the middle (ish) of the Royal Mile. It is under construction and covered in scaffolding and the narrow hall leading to the elevator which appeared to be a temporary thing with plywood boards had a faint urine/port-a-potty odor. But the room was spacious, clean, and air conditioned and the staff was very helpful on check in.
