It was warm & the staff were very friendly & welcoming. we needed a htc charger and reception were more than happy to help by asking around the staff to see if anyone had one... More

This hotel is situated in the heart of the shopping area. Edinburgh is a relatively small city and easy to find your way around. We stayed in room no 1 on 3rd floor with view to the backyard. Quite OK for us. Room no 1 is a lot bigger than i.e. room no 6 on the same floor also with... More

Stayed only for one night, great. What we wanted wasnt a 4 or 5 star but somewhere clean, well run and great staff- Just that! And for the price we paid on a Monday night- Bargain!! would reccomend for Scottish and tourists alike. Best for the location. The only negative is we never had a castle view:-( More

We booked this place on line as we were looking for city centre location, we certainly got that plus lots more , the view to die for , bar and restaurant over looking Edinburgh castle, plus the garden opposite was all lit up for Christmas. We were fortunate to have a suite with the view . Food was excellent especially... More

We picked this hotel for its address really, we wanted Princes Street, close to the Waverley Station for its proximity to the castle, shops, station and gardens. It COULD NOT have been better placed. It was ten minutes (if that) walk from the main station, along wide pavements, amongst shops that made our teen girls drool. The hotel has a... More

We stayed at the hotel maninly for its location near Waverly Station and the view of the castle. Our trip included a number of tours that started/ended at Waverly. It was perfect for that. The hotel, as mentioned in the other reviews, is actually a club, founded long ago. The building is old, but very well maintained. The staff is... More

We were very pleasantly surprised with this hotel. For a 3 star it is great value for money. The views are fantastic looking up to the Edinburgh Castle, the room a little tired but clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly, happy and helpful, and the full breakfast is fantastic. Only one internet computer so a bit of a... More

As a Club rather than a hotel you can expect friendly professional service, a great atmosphere and an old world feel about the place. I felt as though I'd stepped back in time! I have stayed in far better rooms, but had been upgraded from a single room to a small double and was blown away by the stunning view... More

For me, this was a 5-star, but I do recognize that a clean, perfectly located hotel with grandma's old furniture may not be everybody's cup of tea! Though everything is very old, they keep it clean clean clean. The Smiles and out-of-the-way helpfulness were as good as the million-dollar view. Watched the noon cannons fire from the castle from my... More
