It was a nice stay but could have been a lot better
Pros:

The location and ambience was great and the room was beautiful and thank you for the arrangements

Cons:

The room became very cold at night and after asking a staff member twice as the heating wasn’t on, he wasn’t very helpful and was only able to provide me with a duvet that wasn’t very clean

Very good but could have been better with the facilities we paid for. It was more the experience with my husband for the
Pros:

It was in a very quiet place of Edinburgh you couldn’t hear any of the hussle and Bussle of the city. The team were very attentive. Overall a lovely stay

Cons:

After paying a lot to upgrade to one of the best rooms it was in quite a run down condition. There were marks everywhere on the bed were parts were worn away. The Jacuzzi bath was temperamental it didn’t work for us half of the time we wanted to use it we had to turn it off at the wall to stop the jets from working as the button didn’t work
For such an expensive room it was a bit flawed

Pros:

Das Personal in allen Bereichen war außerordentlich nett, das Zimmer lag im Souterrain mit einer kleinen Terrasse. Es war sehr groß, sauber und ruhig. Das Frühstück war großartig, neben einem umfangreichen Buffet konnte man frische Eierspeisen oder Pancakes bestellen. Ein wunderbarer, entspannter Aufenthalt

Should not be considered luxery
Pros:

Bed was very uncomfortable-sunk in the middle and digging into my back, couldn’t even lay next to my partner. I was not aware it would be two mattresses together to make a King which should have a topper on it or properly placed so you can’t tell-there was also no top sheet to use when comforter was too warm I had to ask for one twice and put it on myself, the mattress wasn’t properly wrapped and there was no protective pillow covers on the pillows which appeared to be well used and need to be replaced. There was also an old dirty/moldy mattress under the bed as well which I asked to be removed. No full length mirror in room, shelf in shower was loose on wall and slanted so no way you could use it, not enough towel bars or hooks anywhere. There was nowhere to control the thermostat in the room that we could find. It was not the junior suite room I was expecting as per the picture on site. When room was cleaned towels weren’t properly restocked nor was tissue/toilet paper.. Room was large and hotel is in a nice quiet location near everything which is basically the only positive I had. I booked direct with them instead of through Hilton and regret that because I now lost out on points as well-I also didn’t like that I was requested to pay for my room upfront upon check in. I have never had to do that before. I definitely would not consider this a luxury hotel as per the SLH name and won’t stay again or recommend.

Fantastic - would use again.
Pros:

Fantastic location with a lovely room - really enjoyed having the big windows and the high ceilings. The bed was very large and comfortable. The bathroom was modern with a nice shower. The staff were very friendly and informative.

Cons:

It was a shame that the bath which had jacuzzi facilities did not work. But apart from that, it was perfect.
