Breakfasts were abundant, lots of choice, fresh croissants or chocolate-filled pastry, eggs, bacon, yogourt, fruits, porridge, good coffee or tea, etc. Very friendly staff. Their restaurant serves good international and scottish food for dinner. Nice old-fashioned lobby with daily paper to read, and a small bar that serves about 30 different single-malt whiskys for tasting. Rooms a bit cramped but had everything one likes including TV, bath and shower, fridge, desk. Location great--5 minutes from train station and Prince's/George streets, major shopping streets, and across a bridge from the Royal mile, Edinburgh castle, lots of wool shops and whisky shops, Holyrood palace the Queen's residence, etc. etc. Mattresses a bit too soft, could be larger rooms but we didn't spend too much time in room. TV only had a few channels but not really a problem for me. |

Quiet getting to my room was a bit of a trek - awkward especially when no help with bags! |

Very pleasant, clean, comfortable and nicely appointed room, with a subdued but welcoming decor. Great location just off main road at foot of Calton Hill, near New Town and a pretty stroll across North Bridge to Old Town/Royal Mile. Easy access to Waverly Rail Station, as well. Good value in the heart of what can be an expensive city. The only negative was the construction project across the (very narrow) street, which was under way by 7:30 on a Saturday morning. But that looks to be finished soon ... |

Quietly efficient, all facilities in place as promised. Housekeeping and room service responded well. Good value for money @ GBP 75/- night for two pax with full Scottish breakfast. Quite a "cute" hotel. Though at a good location off Princes Street close to Waverley station, actually a difficult walk with luggage, because the last furlong is an uphill climb. Polite and capable staff, but impersonal. No smoking arrangements whasoever. |

I thoroughly enjoyed my one night there and would stay there again. It offered a superior and better value experience than many of the mid market hotel chains. My room was lovely, spacious and quiet, and you are 5 minutes around the corner from the action. Lovely hotel. Very good value bistro below. Rather a small quibble but it would be good to warn on the breakfast menu those items that take extra time to prepare. It was beautiful but did not have 20 minutes on the day I was there. |

the receptionist was very helpful - she was very informative. the hotel is old with original features - easy less than 5 min walk from the station - our room was on the top floor, so had a fantastic view. although everything was great the one down side was that we had to walk up those stairs - but nothing like a bit of exercise. |

It was quiet and quaint.Small and personal and the receptionist was very accomadating. We were put in an akward location of the house that was distant and isolated. It involved going both up and down stairs.......when we asked the receptionist for a bell boy to come and get our bags for our departure she said he we would be there @ 6am as we wished.The next morning he did not show up and a receptionist was not at the desk.Not good when paying top $ and I have physical injuries that made carrying luggage very unpleasant.Also one should be careful at dusk or dark if you want to walk around the immediate location at night. |

The location of this hotel was ideal for shopping and all transport services. It was also a very quiet location considering you are in the middle of the city The cost of this hotel was a bit steep considering you do not even have breakfast included. |
