“The Hotel is ideally situated for Edinburgh Waverley railway station and for the shops / attractions in Edinburgh. Very central location and when the trams start on Princes Street it will be brilliant. The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast adequate.”

The name of the hotel had been changed and there was nothing to suggest anywhere near the entrance to the hotel that the hotel was formerly called Ramada.

Excellent location for shopping and close proximity to Waverley Train Station Considering I had made the Reservation several months in advance, it would have been nice to have had a decent size room, whereas it was very small and compact and glad it was only for one nights stay. Would have expected this size room if I had made a late booking, though room was clean and had a nice view of Princes Street Gardens etc.

Excellent location for sightseeing and shopping. The hotel is very scruffy and out dated. In my opinion it needs a complete refurbishment. My room was very small, which was not a problem for a 2 night stay, where I was hardly in my room, but was unbearably hot. I asked if the heated towel rail/radiator in the bathroom could be turned off, but reception told me that they are on constantly until they go off automatically at 10 pm and nothing could be done about it. However, it stayed on all night.

Good location and friendly staff. Rooms were very good. Accessability was restricted due to road constructions and problematic with a car. The elevator capacity was really low and we had to wait for a long time to get up and down when needed. No mini-bar at the room.

The location of this hotel strategic, in the city center. Five minute walk to train station and park. The surrounding of the hotel is shopping center and boutique. The room is small, bot suitable for family.

Excellent position with splendid extensive views of the castle, the old town, the Scott monument and Arthur's Seat. Very helpful staff. Reasonable value. The room was small, but I was a solo traveller and the view from the room compensated for the lack of space. I don't recommend the food.

Great location Pillows were quite poor, look like they need replacing. The tv channels available were not paticulalrly good, very limited on what was on offer. Check Out was quite slow, not the fault of the staff member but the fact that he was on hos own at peak time, could have been resolved by having less staff in breakfast area, which is self service, and more on desk.

Location was excellent with a fantastic view of the castle and central location for airlink bus and shopping. Also tour buses are very close. Staff were very friendly and the food was nice. One small thing that annoyed me was the elevators. Always stopped at level 1 (reception/dining room) even when not selected. Also it took ages to arrive at the floor you were on if it wasnt already there, it even missed it a couple of times. Like I said not a big thing just annoyed me a little.

It was a short overnight stay but I was impressed by the friendly, professional attitudes of all the staff I met. I would definitely recommend it to other friends on that account.

I liked the position of the hotel on Princes Street the staff were so professional and friendly anything you required they arranged. The room was large enough with comfortable beds and so quiet. Breakfast was delicious and a buffett style so no excuses to be hungry.On the whole fantastic value for our money.

I was very impressed by this hotel. I was travelling by myself and had a single room but was given one on the 7th floor with great views of Princess street. The staff were efficient, the hotel was in an ideal location and it was very reasonably priced.

Position of Hotel to Edinburgh Castle very good. Fabulous view of castle. Confusion regarding if breakfast was included in rate. (It was). Made to feel like a criminal by the staff until my secretary finally got Booking.com to contact them personally. They should have done this themselves.
