Convenient location for shopping, dining out, theatre and touring the main body of the city by open top bus. The instructions for the movie channels on TV should be made clearer. I accidently clickced on to the movie channel without realising it - when i was told i had to pay for this i was horrified - i didn't even watch it. The receptionist looked at me as though she didn't believe me and as much as told me i should have read the instructions on the TV more clearly. |

Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable with fantastic views of castle, gardens, memorial and Princes street. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see as well as restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed our meals (both brekafast and dinner) and found the staff helpful and friendly. Front desk staff. |

The easy access to Edinburgh's visitor attractions, airport and tourist buses. On edge of new town, but easy access to old town. Room was comfortable and bathroom very clean. Evening meals excellent value for money and of good quality. Secure suitcase storage on last day when checkout was in advvance of flight time. |

Was only there one night but staff were friendly and helpful. The room had a nice view of the castle too! The room directly above had very creeky floorboards, possibly a family room which was a bit annoying as floorboards creeked from one end to the other. |

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The shower was the best we had on our 3 week vacation. It was a bit difficult getting into the hotel from the street. There are a couple of heavy doors and then stairs to get your luggage up to the front desk (although there is a buzzer to call for help). |

Lovely room, big bathroom, beautiful view, supportive mattress, great breakfast. Only very minor quibbles: the television in the room rested upon a low stand, making it difficult to see the screen from the bed; the toilet seat would not stand up on its own; the shower curtain kept billowing inward during a shower, requiring you to fight it back while bathing. |

The hotel was situated right on the main street and was in walking distance of everything we needed. We had a lovely view of the castle. |

I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Edinburgh for its location-its within walking distance of all the major attractions. Price wise we paid €220 for 2 people for 3 nights (last minute booking) but I know if you book well in advance you will be paying 3 or 4 times this amount- for what we paid it was excellent value as it included a very tasty breakfast (buffet, full english)! |

The hotel was located just steps away from the train station and right on the center park in Edinburgh, convenient to everything! There was no elevator from the street level to the Reception Desk. The beds were horribly uncomfortable - it felt as if the mattress were only an inch or two thick on top of a wooden base. |

I liked the fact that it was very near to all the facilities including the castle and railway station The fact that we had to lug heavy suitcases from the ground floor to reception. Can it not be possible to install a lift to this level? Also, I found some of the staff were a little aloof and did not acknowledge us when we checked in. |

The cost. for a city centre hotel, this was very good value The mattress was lumpy and the remote control on the TV would not switch off, so I had to get out of bed to switch the TV off. The shower was cold in the morning, though the water from the bath taps was hot. |
