Very large apartment with decent breakfast. Friendly stuff, they gave us power adapter, stored our luggage on the last day. Excellent location, very near Princess St and George St, about 15 minutes walk from the Castle and Royal Mile. Would definitely like to stay here again. |

We were spoilt in that we had a very large four room apartment and the breakfast was included in the price. It was a steady walk to The Royal Mile but easy. There was no lift and carrying our bags up three floors was a bit of a problem. |

Beautiful old wordly hotel, great location. The lack of lift was painful, especially when we were brining up our bags (top floor) from the car park. Rooms were a bit cold, duvets would've been better that sheets |

The size of the room. The lack of a elevator. The steps were difficult to use when carring your baggage. |

Well located city centre hotel. Basic but clean accomodation with very friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Good value at rate paid although rack rate offered direct by hotel is 2.5x what I paid which is excessive. Decor is rather outdated and dark |

Staff was very very helpful and friendly. Great access to the main streets, train station, bus stops, shops, etc... Definitely come back again. Bedding could do with updates. No elevator. Breakfast wasn't great quality. |

The hotel is situated close to where we wanted to be, which was great. The room was suprisingly huge and everything was clean. Some of the bedding and upholstery seems old and could do with a revamp. |

It is a reasonable quality hotel is within easy reach of Waverly station, royal mile and castle Rather expensive for what it was, an older hotel with limited facilities - probably typical Festival rates! |

The continental breakfast was good. The staff was friendly. The location to the central part of the city was good. We had booked a family room which was why I picked this hotel and they put us in two rooms on two different floors - not acceptable and they did not give a good reason. Also, they charged my card in USD and I wanted to be billed in GBP. Also, in comparison to other hotels at similar prices that we stayed in during our visit to London - the cost of this hotel was extremely inflated. |

Location. The first room we were shown was horrible in the basement and did not meet the promise of zip and link beds. The alternative fo rthe first night was in the Apartments next-door-but-two where the power electricity was not working so the water was cold and there were no bedside lights. After that everything was ok for the remaining three nights and what the hotel lacked in style it made up for in location. |
