Room was okay but starting to look tired. Staff at reception was slow and didn't connect at all with us. Couldn't find our reservation and just left us standing there for minutes without telling us what they were doing, asked to see my confirmation three times at which point I started to lose patience. We ended up in the disabled room without any explanation. Room was okay. Breakfast buffet was okay, cooked breakfast average. Porridge flavourless, poached eggs were dry. All of it was okay. Checkout was a disgrace. I checked out in the IHG app, handed the guy the roomkeys and mentioned that and the only thing he did was asking for our room number. Nothing like how was your stay, would love to see you back, what are your plans for the day. Just average, the whole thing. Shame really.

Really lovely stay, would stay here again if we return to Edinburgh. Had a quiet room at the back, very comfortable, brilliant shower room and toiletries, the staff were all lovely, particularly on the breakfast service, a wide choice of buffet and an excellent cooked to order main course, enough to last you the day out. Really convenient for shopping and the city centre attractions and restaurants service,

This hotel is very well placed for the Edinburgh Playhouse & other tourist attractions. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Hotel is a lovely old building but so warm & cosy. Our room was at the back & was nice and quiet. Complimentary tea, coffee, soft drinks and water plus biscuits, tray replenished each day. Fridge in the room for the water and soft drinks. Bed extremely comfy and bathrobes and slippers were provided. Lovely smelling toiletries and a very powerful rain shower, didn't want to get out. So much choice at breakfast all prepared with the best ingredients. The hotel doesn't have a carpark but you do get a 40% discount when using the one behind the hotel. Man on the reception, sorry can't remember his name recommended any Italian restaurant nearby. The food was so good that we ate there both nights. I would highly recommend this hotel & will definitely stay here when we visit Edinburgh again.

The bed was super comfy and the shower flowed perfect with excellent temperature. Located in walking distance or short journey from all attractions.
