Everything about the hotel was great apart from drinking and eating space. A bar with only two tables with very high tables and a restaurant with a dozen tables? Comfy chairs with tables in reception which we had to ask to be cleared as they were all covered with used dishes.

Overall the hotel was good. I was a bit dismayed that we werent told before booking or even up to day of arrival, of the pool being closed for maintenance. There were a couple of lights (standard and table) not working but that wasnt a big issue. Also the bathroom doorstop was missing but there part of the fixing still left in the floor. Again, not a big issue but little details can make a difference. The bigger 9f the issues was not being told about the pool being closed. I would have expected a reduction in price because of this.

When i was there, 2 out of the 3 elevators were not operational & when i arrived an hour or so earlier than check in time the computers were "not working" so they couldnt tell if rooms were ready so it was a bit chaotic. The room was huge but had no mini fridge & no Netflix or anything on the TV (casting wouldn'tconnect). The location is really great. Walkable to all Edinburgh has to offer but still quiet & comfortable.

Great choice to stay in Edinburgh. We had a great stay, but the rooms could use a refresh to make it perfect. Also the beds were not to our liking but as we were staying only one night we didn't both to ask to change the bedding.
