Helt okej hotell till bra pris.
Pros:

Fint gammalt hotell i lugna omgivningar.

Cons:

Enkel frukost som levererades till rummet. Den var helt okej, men jag hade önskat bättre kvalitet.

Quirky
Pros:

Location good, interesting architecture, well run and pleasant staff.

Cons:

Unusual breakfast arrangements. Left outside the room but with key ingredients to be collected from the dining room, so not really room service. It could all have been collected from the dining room and maybe reduce the packaging involved.

Antic però ben conservat. Esmorzar escàs.
Pros:

La ubicació i la tranquilitat de l’entorn.

Cons:

L’esmorzar. Molt pobre. Tot envasat, amb plats i coberts de paper i fusta.

Pros:

Location, ambience, large, quiet room

Cons:

75 stairs to my room, with a morning hike down and back to collect breakfast milk and yogurt 🤭
Great location for my lonesome 1night stay and visit to Playhouse just 10 minutes walk away.
Interesting part of town with Calton Hill close by to explore, easy stroll to and from Waverley station, once I got my bearings

Excellent Location, Disappointing Attention to Detail
Pros:

The location is optimal with lots of bus stops within walking distance, perfect to visit Edinburgh on a stop between our arrival and departing for the Highlands. One of the better priced options during the peak season. The room was clean and had everything required, though it would need a bit of love or refurbishing of the dated furniture. Overall pleasant building. Tea or coffee available in the main dining room 24/7.

Cons:

The mattress was terrible. The shower flooded within minutes which led us to pull a huge pile of hair from previous guests - not nice. The Breakfast experience gave the hotel a low cost vibe. We had breakfast outside and took some of the snacks for our journey. Considering the other hospitable experiences we had in Scotland in general, this one was by far our least favorite. This value might be okay for Edinburgh during the Fringe Festival, but it certainly left an impression of lack and carelessness over all.

excellent base for long weekend in edinburgh and beyond.
Pros:

room 11. beautiful period building, nice big furnished room, including bathroom with a bath and good shower. bed big n comfy.
fantastic lounge area to sit and relax in, would’ve liked to have a glass of wine or a whisky in there. i will next time.
staff were fantastic and accommodating. we arrived early but room was ready ish. we were looked after till it was ready 15 mins later.
accommodation is near to local amenities and a 10 min walk to york place or 20 mins to princes at.

Cons:

i’m being very picky but nowhere is perfect. the room was a little dated re: carpets but it was a period room so still felt ok.
the breakfast was a modest buffet option delivered to room night before. either a) go all out for hot breakfast in dining room or b) don’t bother and knock £15 off the daily rate of the room
