Great location just round the corner from the castle but very quiet and away from the crowds.
Pros:

Breakfast was great. The staff were welcoming and very helpful. The room was cleaned each day and water and biscuits always replenished. The lift was convenient. Each room is themed to a famous Scottish person- we had Denis law which i liked. The bath was a bonus.

Cons:

The room was very hot and there was no air conditioning. The window opened but onto an enclosed courtyard so there was no breeze and the dyson device in the room was just a fan.

Great place
Pros:

The room was lovely, well done and a comfortable bed. Staff were helpful and friendly. Great location, near enough the centre of things but quiet still. Close to the tram for the airport or Waverley

Cons:

The bath side was super high and as a short person was hard to get into for my shower!

La chambre était jolie mais un peu petite. L'hôtel est bien situé en dehors du centre ville mais pratique d'accès.

Disappointing stay
Pros:

Good central location. On arrival, staff able to accommodate luggage to allow us to see a matinee show at the theatre.

Cons:

On returning to the hotel, after a show, there was a significant wait to check in. Staff advised they were busy serving at the bar.

Next morning, we were unable to enjoy any form of gluten free breakfast. Hotel did not have any gluten free bread and were unable to facilitate any alternative options, suggested by the customer, using other items on the menu. When raised with staff on checking out the response was 'oh, well'.

Pros:

Fin belligenhed

Cons:

Morgenmad levede ikke op til forventninger. Lang ventetid. ikke mulighed for at bestille det lovede, da de var løbet tør. Der var ikke det lovede på tallerkenerne. Hvis vi kommer igen bestille vi IKKE morgenmad på hotellet.

It served a purpose of a night ahead of going to the airport
Pros:

Great location and quiet. The bed was extremely comfortable. Lack of staff around.

Cons:

Decor was not great, curtains did not pull. Uncoordinated and a hideous large picture of a sweaty man at the head of my bed was not pleasant

Great value and location!
Pros:

The Room was specious all I needed was in there!

Cons:

I really don't have anything much. But if I would be pressed, there was a window withour curtains through witch daylight would wake me up early. I can image not all people might want to do that.
