Royal Overseas League Hotel  

Great location on Princes Street. Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Room was exactly what we needed: thought I might have to share a double bed with my 10 year old son, but in fact we had 2 singles which was much better. Nice touch to have bottled water in the room, as well as the usual range of hot drinks. Breakfast was great: plenty of choice, very tasty and waiter was very friendly. My sons tried food they wouldn't normally eat, such as haggis. Will definitely stay here again next time we visit Edinburgh.

Brand new renovated room, a little small but perfectly clean and sufficient. Breakfast is good and staff helpful.

Have used this Hotel before. Great Location. Within walking distance fron the Train Station. Had a front facing room which overlooked Edinburgh Castle. Very friendly staff and an excellent choice of breakfast. Choice of snack and evening meals were also exellent and at a very reasonable price. Will be using this Hotel when we go back to Edinburgh in May

the location - right on Princes St, the room had everything, comfy beds and very clean. I ate dinner at the restaurant - good value for money and had the best G & T ever - the waiter was charming. The lift is extremely small but ok if one at a time uses it with luggage. Hotel staff were very friendly except at breakfast. The breakfast was delish but the waitress could be a bit more cheerful. Unfortunately she got my breakfast order wrong on both days - but not a big deal. Loved the hotel and will probably stay there again when in Edinburgh :)

Location

Room rate for front side room with castle view is the same as room at the back side with horrible roof view, advance booking does not guarantee to get the front side room, most of the facilities in the room do not work.

The location was second to none right on Princes Street in the heart of everything & the view from our bedroom window of Edinburgh castle was amazing! The staff were excellent, very friendly & welcoming, especially those in the bar & on reception. Room a great size for a standard twin, very comfortable & spotlessly clean. All in all we had a fantastic trip & intend to use this hotel for future stays in Edinburgh.

Great location, excellent value for money

Friendliness and helpfulness of staff. Excellent breakfast !

Frindly Staff and with only 17 rooms plenty of attention. Breakfast cooked as you sit at your table,meaning the best breakfast we have received in our 30 annual trips to Scotland. Positioned perfect for shopping or heading over to the castle opposite. Waiter at breakfast full of local knowledge and willing to brighten up your day.

The room had just been refurbished, the bathroom was large, the bed was soft and confortable and the round window offered a wonderful view of the castle.

The shower didn't work (hot water didn't come out properly) and even if they knew it (they told me about a pressure problem) they didn't do anything when informed that I didn't managed to have a shower: for 79 £ per night I expected a perfect service and, if not as happened to me, a price reduction.the room wasn't adeguately cleaned (I think it had been used by contractors working on the floor redecoration), on the sink there were hairs!! Wifi didn't work and the pc in the lounge was prehistoric

It's excellent location and nice view of the Edinburgh Castle right outside your window.

The small lift - not easy to use at all...

Cleanliness and comfort of rooms and excellent location and value for money.

Hotel was currently being refurbished.
