The staff were lovely and helpful and it was a great location in the centre of Edinburgh. There was some work being done on the building (outside the establishment's control) but it couldn't be heard from our room. Would recommend and happily stay here again!

Pleasant Stay.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful on our arrival, even though we were an hour early. The gentleman who secures luggage also showed us to the restaurant area whilst we waited for our room to be ready. Very helpful and informative, explained that the hotel is being renovated enabling a direct route from the train station. Overall, everyone was helpful. Food was tasty and to a good standard however the buffet breakfast items such as bacon, sausages, eggs had cooled, not sure the hot plate was working properly. Bedroom clean, but decor becoming tired, needs revamp. Comfortable beds! Lovely overnight stay and the people who worked there were helpful, friendly and patient!

We had a lovely stay however was really inconvenienced when a faulty air con system made a loud buzzing noise at 3am which needed reception to turn off. If it hadn’t been for this I would have rated you 5 stars.

Stairs in the room corridors, difficult to manage with suitcases (consider building ramps instead, as I've experienced in other hotels). Room/bathroom was roomy & nice but noise from adjoining room was unreasonable and mattress was very hard.

Getting around in the hotel was challenging. We had to go to various levels and long hallways with many direction changes to get to our room. Restaurant food was very plain, and service was slow. Lobster Bisque was very salty, and the fish and chips was probably the least tasty of the 10 plus places thar we had fish and chips. Beds were very firm and not very comfortable. On a positive note, the staff at the front desk were very friendly and accommodating. .
