BedRoom needs a bit tlc eg tiolet seat loose, DIY shabby around the towel rail, the water went all over the floor when having a shower as there was no shower curtain to go right across the shower base. On a good note it was a comfy bed and friendly staff.

Room overlooking small closed courtyard full of rubbish and air con units and overlooked marks and Spencer staff room so constant people 10m away staring in. Awful. Room dated and poor. Very dark. Room key replaced 3 times as wouldn’t work in lift or in room. Was told they were not good by phones as if it was our fault. Twice we kept away from phones and still had to be replaced.

The hotel is in a fabulous location in terms of seeing the sights of Edinburgh. We had a superior room with a view of the castle. It was quite noisy outside overnight so could maybe benefit from double glazing. The bathroom a little tired looking with the toilet seat wobbly and the toilet roll handle loose. Very comfy bed. Breakfast good although a variation on cooked eggs would have been nice. Scrambled and hard boiled for example. Staff lovely and would definitely stay again.
