Attending a funeral so not the happiest reason to stay but we were made very welcome .
Pros:

.We were welcomed by a very helpful young man on the reception desk,his customer service skills. were excellent.He noticed we were carrying hanging luggage and advised us that the room we were allocated did not currently have a wardrobe(the hotel is being renovated)He very kindly upgraded us to the best room in the hotel!! The breakfast choice was very good and the staff were most friendly and helpful.We were staying in Edinburgh to attend a funeral ,but would definitely choose to stay here again under happier circumstances.

Cons:

Nothing really,overall very satisfied
