We were delighted with our room but interactions with some staff members I feel very disappointed with the outcome.
Pros:

The hotel is located well for pre and post travel from Edinburgh airport. The hotel definitely has the boutique feel and the Executive room was lovely. We had dinner in the restaurant on our first evening and food was first class and Connor was very attentive and friendly.

Cons:

Had an issue on the first morning of our stay when the shower stopped working part of the way through using. Phoned reception to advise and was told I needed to speak to duty manager. I did speak to here that morning and found her to be quite dismissive and was told the hotel was not aware contractors were turning off the water that morning which I found hard to believe. Only after being pushed did she admit that the maintenance team were aware of the repair. She saw the shower facilities as a small unimportant part of our stay. After a long discussion we were offered 4 free drinks at the bar, which I did not take up. Through out our stay we found communication with staff very mixed. Room package was to include 2 glasses of champagne and canapés daily during our 3 night stay but only received this on our first night of stay. Also staff at breakfast time were very mixed in their service delivery. Although we went for breakfast after 9am and they stopped serving at 10am, it appeared no one filled up empty serving bowls of cereal etc when it was gone it was gone.

Goed hotel vlakbij Edinburgh en snelweg naar de Highlands
Pros:

Personeel heel vriendelijk
Diner was kwalitatief geweldig

Cons:

Er werd niet goed gepoetst op de kamer; de 2e dag waren de koffiekopjes vies terug gezet.
Erg donker in het hotel.
De airco is tijdens het poetsen uitgezet en de kaartjes in de schakelaar zijn weggehaald; 's avonds dus erg warm na terugkomst.
Wifi op de kamer niet erg goed
Restaurant erg duur (kwaliteit wel heel goed)

Would have expected better for the price.
Pros:

Location near the airport. Coffee and biscuits.

Cons:

Air conditioning didn’t work and we could have used another hand towel and wash cloths. Why no wash cloths? The mattress was worn, where the edge collapsed and you slid right off of it. Mini fridge would have been a nice amenity.
