Fabulous property in the city centre. Gorgeous room, with everything we needed, spotlessly clean, beautiful bed linen and towels. Great shower and bath. Expensive, even for Edinburgh but a great experience. Lovely breakfast, good coffee and beautiful public areas.

It was way overpriced and they added a discretionary 5% fee for the workers which I gladly paid. It is absolutely a 4 star hotel masquerading as a 5 star hotel. The room rates are insanely high for bad suites and regular rooms. Avoid this hotel please at all costs. The staff are very pleasant though. The hotel is a complete ripoff. If you like to throw your money away, please stay here!

Super nice staff. We wanted to enter the bar at night with the kids but due to licensing issue, no kids are allowed unless ordering full meals. We were full so didn’t need meals and the manager gladly found a table in another dining area of the hotel and provided services for us. Very convenient location right next to the train station. You can basically walk everywhere, to the castle or to the hill. Loved our stay and would definitely stay again!

This hotel was wonderful. The staff was excellent, friendly, helpful, and so nice. The hotel and the room are beautiful and in a great central location. They are kid-friendly and have the room prepared for our daughter. She felt like the hotel was all about her with cookies, chocolate milk, a cute owl stuffy and her own bath accessories. Room service was also excellent. This is one of, if not the nicest, hotels we have experienced in all of our travels.
