    It was centeral to the city.

    We feel breakfast should have been included in the cost,the additional cost of breakfast for 3 mornings did add significantly to the total cost of our stay.

    "Generally fine." (107106128)

    Clean, comfortable.

    Room was not cleaned when we asked it to be. (only happened once) Considering the cost, I think it would be reasonable to include breakfast.

    "Apart from this one person the stay was extremely enjoyable, the service was very good and the food very good and the rooms spacious, clean. A very good experience" (107676659)

    the hotel is beautiful and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

    Only one staff member was surly and unhelpful on arrival and did not assist our visitors in any way otherwise our every need was catered for.

    "(+)Excellent location, helpful staff, good refurbished rooms, some parking available (£15 per night). (-) Too much noise and banging of doors (very thin walls, you can hear people talking next door!)" (97303757)

    Newly refurbished, helpful staff

    Lots of noise (very thin walls and doors), hairdryer is there but nowhere to connect to (not thought through), hot and cold taps are mixed up, etc. A bit more thinking and planning could have helped

    "Satisfactory" (107381851)

    Overall a very nice room with nice amenities and an awesome location in the city.

    There was a stench in the room that was very pungent like rotten feet. We aired the room out but it did no good. When the lady came to clean the room which she did a thorough job it still did no good. The room itself needed some new furniture because the chairs were half broken and the bed was bowed in the middle.

    "Overall quite a good experience but breakfast service, in all respects, needs to be smartened up." (107711845)

    The room was excellent - clean, spacious and a good outlook

    Breakfast service was very slow. Had to wait for a table, send cups back (dirty),several breakfast items from the buffet were missing others cold. Tea cold and had to be returned - waiting staff found it difficult to understand our Scottish accents.

    "Very good value for money in the heart of Edinburgh. Delivered everything of a better class hotel that everbody can afford. When staying in Edinburgh again would not spend any time trolling through net to find any better." (97028070)

    The beds were an absolute dream to sleep in, wish I could have slept later.

    When leaving accommodation key locked out and was unable to return to pick up something I had left.

    The initial welcome to the hotel was good.

    The room was not cleaned properly Dangerous objects were left in the room. The hotel overcharged on room service.

    Courteous and friendly staff. Breakfast was good

    Electrics in room. Loose connections on kettle and iron. Iron did not work and one light bulb flickered constantly so main lights had to be turned off. Poor drainage on washhand basin meant that sink was overflowing before water got hot.

    They upgraded me to a suite! I was a happy bunny. Everything worked, the whole process was very relaxed, great location and fantastic value for money.

    Very little. A couple of minor niggles, but nothing of any note.

    centrally located & comfortable accommodation, overall the hotel is has the attributes of four star accommodation.

    Hotel restaurant food portions are to small, over priced and of moderate quality. Bar food is cheaper and better quality. Far to much street noise in bedrooms, window glazing is poor for noise insulation. Lack of air conditioning is a negative.

The hotel has a brilliant location and if you cant get parked in the hotel car park there is a public NCP car park right next door which costs " (97622255)

    "The hotel was conveniently located with respect to the city center and train and airport shuttle transportation at Waverly Station. The Saturday night rate was extremely high compared to the week night rates. We were a party of three staying in a suite and the bed in the bedroom as well as the convertable sofa bed were VERY uncomfortable." (97689959)

    "The hotel was very pleasant and couldnt have been better situated for the playhouse theatre breakfast first class and it certainly was advantageous to prebook breakfast. One small defect - bathroom sink was cracked right across the middle and they had made an attempt to fix it with sealant but it looked terrible it would have paid to have the job done properly. very clean and tidy and we would certainly use this hotel for our future overnight stays" (97419373)

    very central and close to Playhouse where we were at a concert plus convenient ncp car park

    "The rooms at a quick glance are pleasing on the eye , however the rooms are becoming tired/ slightly tatty !!!!!!!!! Upon closer inspection , the carpet is coming away at the joins , the window could not be left ajar , only by inserting a old piece of wood left on the window ledge could you keep the window ajar,some of the heating/ piping is old , shabby, dust which has obviosly been there for a longgggggggg period lies collecting more dust. I had stayed there also two weeks previous , the tv did not work , the messages received light on the fone did not work , i mentioned this at check out , but the receptionist did not make a note of these observations , she just said it would be looked into!!!! The hotel cannot be faulted on its location , 3 and a half stars is just about right , if it ever wanted to gain four stars a lot more attention to detail needs to be rectified." (97011509)

    Location, really comfortable beds.

Was given a very good sized room (albeit it with a slightly squashed bathroom). The hotel was better than I expected and would consider staying there again." (99320531)
