I have stayed at the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The reservation had a balcony, but they gave me a room without one, and their attitude was arrogant and rude. They gave me a different room without feeling sorry. They even said it was a mistake on the platform and there was deliberate deception. It's not the first day they sold it online, so how could they not make a mistake and not modify it? They just sold a bigger room that belonged to me to someone else. I want to check out at 4pm, and I am willing to pay a delay fee, but the other party told me that I need to pay a whole fee to be able to do it,

Absolutely outstanding stay! Had a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the Christmas market and Edinburgh Castle. It was perfectly situated. 3 min walk from the train station and 4 mins from shops. Everything was a stones throw away! Beautiful bathroom and room in general on the top floor. Breakfast was excellent and worth the money. As we were on the sleeper train, we arrived incredibly early and the hotel took and kept hold of the bags either side of our journeys! Highly recommend staying here. Could not fault the hotel, staff and service!
Fabulous view whilst eating breakfast.

Read it, so you stay away from this place, They call it a wee room, it should be called wee wee wee room, lt is 2 closets combined together, jail cell sized room, wait jail cell may be bigger, Old hotel with old everything Elevator to 1st floor broke, so you need to lug your luggage up 1 flight of stairs, Location, in may seem like a good idea to be on princes street, but trust me, do not stay in hotel on Princes Street, it's loud and busy, stay couple blocks back from this main road for peace and quiet nights.

The property was in excellent location for our needs. That is the Christmas market. It was opposite. The staff were excellent. The rooms were sufficient.. I could not complain about anything if I had to make a comment it would be. I would ask the hotel to move the Safe as the Safe was 1 foot in front of the bed on the floor and for anybody larger or elderly like ourselves, it was difficult to get to
