to get started.

Really loved the room. It was really nicely decorated in a modern style with photos of iconic Edinburgh scenes. The room was comfortably warm, the bed was a great size & comfortable. The room was well insulated from noise, so we weren’t disturbed. The bathroom was modern again with great sized shower & toilet. Excellent WiFi as well with very nice friendly staff. Liked that it was not in the centre of Edinburgh & a less than half an hour walk, you were in the city centre. Highly recommended & would stay here again. Thank you.

Our room was lovely, very clean and comfortable, the addition of a cafetiere and real coffee was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated in the morning, breakfast was lovely with lots choice and you could have as much as you wanted, maybe they could add potato scones?

Really comfortable bed could have slept on but glad I didn't as I would have missed out on the fantastic breakfast worth getting up for.

The location is great. You are a short walk to the bus stop and it takes you down to Princes Street. On the way you can hop off the bus and go into lovely little shops or get something to eat. On site parking

I thought the finish in the rooms was excellent - the high wood skirting boards, the space and the lighting - plenty of variable lights all sensibly switched- the staff were helpful and charming

The lighting in the bathroom could have been a bit better especially at the sink. My wife found it a bit dark for her to apply make up & contact lenses. So a stronger light at the sink would have been preferable. Thought breakfast was a bit pricey, so didn’t have it. Maybe a cheaper option of a light cereal & coffee or tea breakfast rather than having just 1 option of a cooked breakfast at £10 or £13 on the day.

The web site infers from it’’s photos that the Mansion house is where you stay but we were in the Masson house which was brilliant but perhaps would have preferred the Mansion house and it’s traditional accommodation. The other thing is that we were going to the theatre which started at 7:30pm and we booked the bistro for 6:00 with a view to be able to eat and walk the 20 minutes to the theatre. However, the meal took ages to come - for example, it was 25 minutes between ordering and receiving our starter. And the knock on through our main course which we didn’t have time to finish as we had to dash. Would point out that the waiting staff were excellent - I suspect that the bistro was maybe too busy for the kitchen. Perhaps this needs looked at in the future as I would alert other friends staying to consider eating nearer the theatre. Also might be a good idea to have some extra cutlery near the fresh fruit salad at breakfast as some people don’t like using a cereal spoon to eat fruit - eg a teaspoon is more delicate.
We liked the location and the cleanliness as well as the friendly ness of all the staff. Everyone was just so helpful and made us feel welcome.

Was expecting an old house, but our room was in a new building, also we had no views, not a complaint as such, more an observation as to maybe make it a bit clearer when booking as all photos are of the old building

“Disappointing”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
The staff were not very good at dealing with a few issues we raised during our stay - some staff members were a little rude and abrupt. Our room was not cleaned properly, the beds were made, however bed runners, cushions where thrown into the corner and on top of our things. Dirty glasses were not replaced. The floor was covered in horrible specs that were not hovered up - these appeared when we returned to our room on the second day. I did raise this with the hotel in writing after my stay. I received a very quick response and an apology after being told a thorough investigation had taken place. I was also given a partial refund, however this did not even cover one nights stay- I feel we should have been given a refund for the second night as this is when the issues started. I was assured everything I raised would be used towards staff training, which I hope will be implemented.
The location is great. You are a short walk to the bus stop and it takes you down to Princes Street. On the way you can hop off the bus and go into lovely little shops or get something to eat. On site parking
