Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and beautifully decorated rooms, equipped with all the amenities needed to feel right at home. The location is perfect for first-time visitors to Scotland, right in the center and easily accessible. The service was exceptional, especially considering my recent hip replacement. The dining experience was mostly enjoyable, with high-quality options, despite a minor hiccup. Overall, a great stay with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The hotel offers well-equipped rooms to feel at home, though the bed was a bit hard. The service was attentive and helpful despite some limitations in staff availability. The location is perfect for exploring the city, near major attractions and convenient amenities.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped like a small apartment but lacked the promised Landmark view. The service was exceptional, with friendly and informative staff, though they couldn't provide fans on a hot day. The location was convenient for exploring central Edinburgh but was noisy and busy at all times. The dining experience was decent but a bit slow, offering high-quality local products. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks.
I found the hotel to be a wonderful stay overall. The rooms were impeccably clean and well-equipped, with a great view of the castle. The two-story layout, while charming, was a bit inconvenient with a dog. The service was top-notch, with professional and friendly staff throughout our stay. The location was superb, just a minute away from Princess Street and close to various dining options and supermarkets. The dining experience was divine, particularly at The Register for breakfast. The facilities exceeded expectations, making for a very enjoyable stay.
The hotel's rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and had a lovely private terrace, though a bit gloomy. The service was attentive, friendly, and prompt. The location was superb, perfect for exploring Central Edinburgh. The dining experience was divine, surpassing expectations. Facilities were top-notch, offering a great overall experience with a few minor drawbacks in the wardrobe area.
My stay at the hotel was just perfect. The rooms had everything I needed and were spacious, definitely recommending this hotel. The decor was lovely, facilities great, bed super comfortable, and the shower was the best I've ever experienced. However, there was some noise from the bottle bank being emptied at 6 am and the rumbling of the tram. Luckily, I was informed in the morning that quieter rooms were available at the rear of the building for next time. The room even had a mezzanine level with a second bed, which was a nice touch.
The hotel has a mix of positives like well-equipped rooms and helpful service, but lacks in room decor and dining experience. The location is great for exploring the area.
My stay at the hotel was simply breathtaking! The beauty and comfort of the room were outstanding, but there were a few minor issues. The service I received was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly helpful and attentive. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of all the action in St Andrew's Square. The dining experience was a bit hit or miss, but overall, I had a decent experience. The facilities were great, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
