Beutiful, elegant,Hotel in a superb location.
Pros:

This is a very elegant Hotel in the heart of the New Town in Edinburgh. Fabulous location. Beautiful building. We had a lovely, clean room. The staff without exception were very friendly, especially those in the bar and at reception, which was extremely efficient.

Cons:

Breakfast though was a little disappoinmting. The hot food on the buffet was done to death, and even the freshhly cooked items were not the best.

Comfortable hotel with super staff and great central location.
Pros:

Very comfortable stay in a large room with a great walk in shower. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Don’t really have anything bad to say except we had no robes in our room and hall carpets were looking grubby in high traffic corridors.

Exceptionally poor value for money, which marred a special trip.
Pros:

I liked the central location, the breakfast was lovely and the staff were amazing.

Cons:

The room was very cold as the windows need replacing and the heating was inadequate to cope. The heating fan made a noise which kept me awake most of the night. There was no form of heating in the tiny bathroom, so having a shower was unpleasant. Also the room was in a weird rear part of the hotel and suffered from outside noise from the street that ran along the back, also due to the deteriorated sealing of the windows. All in all at £1300 for 2 nights it was exceptionally poor value for money, a Premier Inn would have been vastly better value, even at that same cost!

Pros:

The location was brilliant. The hotel is old world charm and mostly comfortable. Staff were lovely, all over the hotel.

Cons:

The size of our bathroom was really disappointing! IT WAS TINY! TEENY TINY! You couldn't swing a cat! We paid for a Premium King room and we expected a decent sized ensuite. I should have taken a closer look at that when I booked it. The room was a great size, and it was spotless.
