We stayed mid-week, and it was the venue for a conference which meant the commmon areas were quite busy during the day. Our room was in the new part of the hotel and the bathroom in particular was getting very tired. It definitely a complete overhaul, and the shower was hard to regulate, going hot and cold without warning. Oddly... More

We especially chose this hotel for the spa which we were particualry looking forward to after a gruelling fell race in the afternoon. What a disappointment. There was a decent enough sized pool but no jacuzzi and only 2 loungers squeezed onto one edge of the pool. However, even if there had have been more loungers, the temperature of the... More

Good hotel within walking distance of the castle and The Royal Mile, just round the corner from Princes St. Comfortable room with huge bed and the best shower I have ever had in a hotel. Bar seemed very dark More

Just stayed at hotel for a mini break, really friendly staff that go above and beyond, made us feel really welcome. The hotel is located seconds away from Princes Street, minutes from the castle and generally ideal for most things. The rooms were lovely. And the breakfast was dee-lish. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here as part of a conference, and couldn't be more disappointed. Sad because after flying 'Sega Class' on Iceland Air and staying at 'Huntingtower Lodge' in Fort William (Scotland Highlands) we were expecting similarly great experiences. (see our review of Huntingtower Lodge) There is a reason this hotel is rated 64 of 137 in Edinburgh, as of this... More

We had two rooms for two nights for the Scotland V England rugby weekend. Hotel is very well located at the end of Rose Street with all its bars and in between George and Princess Street which is the main shopping area of Edinburgh. We had a 30 minute wait to check in, there were approx 5 people in front... More

Stayed for a wedding anniversary. Should have known better when a hotel offers 'buckets of beer for sale and vouchers for breakfast! Slept on top of what felt was the Royal Yatch's fog horn. Apparently the service elevator which the staff promised would not be used on our second night. They lied! I thought the 'greasy spoon' hot buffet breakfast... More

Location is very good on corner Charlotte Square and George Street (the end of George street furthest from the station). The biggest problem we experienced was the heating or rather lack of it in public rooms. We were there on a Thursday night in January and had an inward facing room which was OK quiet away from traffic and warm... More

Stayed here for the England - Scotland game. I was upgraded on arrival to an Executive room, but on the street side of the hotel and with the single glazed window I might as well have been sleeping on the street in view of all the traffic noise! The room are nicely furnished, nice beds, but little point if, as... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights (Friday and Saturday). First impressions were fine, on George street, around the corner from Prices Street so couldn't fault the location. Upon entering room which was a standard room (£150 a night!) in a four star hotel we noticed the noise from the traffic. Not a problem, close the window i hear... More
