“Fantastic Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Great city centre hotel, Lovely spacious clean bright room with everything you could want in it. Excellent bathroom, very clean with huge bath and amazing shower. The staff are fantastic, could not be more helpful. From dietary requirements to extra milk to newspapers to luggage storage absolutely nothing was a problem to them. Lovely modern interior, but still friendly not clinical like some can be. One minute walk to Princes Street, or The Royal Mile.
Will be certain to stop here again and recommend to others. No complaints what so ever.

“Great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Hotel is in brilliant location close to shops and places of interest. Second stay in this hotel the only problem was this time the room had no bath which I prefer. Staff all good, breakfast is self serve cereal etc. anything cooked is served very quickly in a few mins.

Room Tip: If you prefer a quiet room avoid the front of the hotel

“Fabulous Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Great hotel in the city centre. Room was lovely, clean, bright and had plenty of space. It was also pretty quiet for being in the centre of town (and considering we live in the country and are used to NO noise). The staff were all really friendly and helpful. Two minutes walk to the shops on Princes St and close to the bridge over to the Royal Mile etc for all the sight-seers. Will definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone.

Room Tip: We took an executive room which we felt was worth the extra wee bit for a bit more space.

“Good location, Good Hotel, Staff lacking.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We booked our honeymoon break here and had their duplex suite. We had a bit of a nightmare booking the room with the staff but got resolved in the end.
On arrival we were very impressed with the room, champers on ice, flowers, they were all waiting for us. The suite itself was great. Minor grumble, the bose sound system didnt have aerial, so no radio and the batteries were flat in the tv remote upstairs, which took a few days to get replaced.
The bed is massive, the bathroom and shower room are luxury, certainly a place to go away for a treat.

The negatives, well the restaurant food and staff are poor. We had a meal included in the package, and it was poor, infact if i had paid for it i would have sent it back. The Lamb chops had more bone than meat, on all 3 of them. We didnt even get offered coffee or desert and after waiting 15 mins we got up to leave.

Breakfast is a manic and again the staff do very little to make you welcome but the breakfast was good thou.

They have a great indoor pool and massure who did beauty treatments, My wife really enjoyed thoses.

Check out, more issues again staff related, which sums this hotel up.

Overall its a great hotel, but the poor food and staff leave prevent it being somthing special. Having been to the balmoral and seeing how their staff perform, then these guys should go and visit and see the difference.
