Major building works.

The hotel is very clean and the staff very professional and helpful. The breakfast extremely expensive if you pay on the day £19 but £11 if you book the day before ( I never know if I’ll be hungry the day before). I was woken up by heavy drilling from apparently building work being carried out next door. There was no notice on the website about this and I would definitely not recommend this hotel for that reason.

Perfect location, nice enough for the price

The hotel is in the best location you could wish for. Everywhere is walking distance and the views look out over Princes street and the castle. I was really happy with the price because of the location The initial foyer and dining room are nice enough. The rooms are a decent size and clean enough. But you stay here for the location. I think overall it’s good value. However, over a couple of days the lifts and hallway was a bit smelly The main issue here isn’t external noise, it’s noise from the hallway inside. The walls must be thin because it sounded like people were inside my room! It was not helped because they had a large group of teenagers staying at the same time who were shouting in the halls and banging on doors. I can’t blame the hotel for this (they couldn’t know what they would do) but it really emphasised how easily sound travels inside Staff were lovely and friendly and will do anything to help. Breakfast was lovely Last thing is the bar. I had a drink, it’s tasted horrible, but staff told me that’s how it should taste……definitely not. So I had to just pour it away Anyway, if you want central location, you will Not find a better price and for that price, the hotel is nice enough.

You all need to try their cream tea option at the restaurant. Tea with scones! Best scones ive had in my life. Ive been to many high teas in my life and this beats all. Every single bite felt like i was having an out of body experience. The hotel staff were very friendly and accomodating to our needs. Very walkable to majority of the attractions and the view from the restaurant is beautiful. Definitely would stay again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Likes: Proximity to North Bridge, great views, the gardens on Princes Street, numerous shops and places to eat, Waverley Train Station, The Royal Mile and the Scottish National Gallery The hotel allowed me into my room several hours early and very kindly did not charge me for checking out 1 hour later than the stated time I received help with my luggage which was appreciated. Good to find vegetarian and vegan food options but would have liked to see more fish on the menu (not seafood) e.g. salmon Huge bed was comfortable but pillows quite thin Good breakfast but there were a few surprising omissions - for example, I think no porridge Good lighting Reasonably priced and delicious cream tea Dislikes: I found it difficult to select the right TV channel when I wanted to watch a particular programme and found the Spanish? on screen offputting I couldn't find the Reset Button so didn't use the safe My room was not as colourful as shown in website photographs Absence of cushions on bed Small bathroom but decent size shower Towels were quite small Had to ask for a room service menu to be brought to my room Tasty and reasonably priced cream tea
