What people say

The staff were very polite and informative. The hotel is petite and cosy. The rooms are amazing with some great touches and are great to relax in if travelling on business or leisure. The location is brilliant. It is central but not right in the middle of things and a great location for getting about and seeing Edinburgh. I enjoyed the space of the room, the comfort of the bed and the beautiful glass bbathroom. The service was brilliant and the breakfast fabulous. I would definitely stay again. All amenities and activities were very close by and within minutees walking distance. Loved it!.
all reviews » Great location, especially if you're off to the Playhouse next door. Balconies are an excellent and unusual addition to the rooms. Our double was compact but well designed making the most of the space available. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful throughout our stay. From the moment we got there we had a warm welcome from William - we were early but registered and left our bags so could go and do some shopping. We had a beautiful suite - the balcony was amazing. The staff were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Room clean and lovely furnishings with a cosy touch...bed so comphy with big goose filled pillows and duvey, huge lovely fluffy towels a complete luxury touch, enjoyed complimentary highland aromatic products..room nice and warm too. Friendly helpful staff. I thought the hotel portrayed a proffessional and exclusive image from top to bottom. I particularly liked the large roof garden - it was superbm. It would be easy to believe that you were in a rural location and not a city center. The hotel is modern and in the city centre (close to the Calton hill). It has an fantastic large roof garden to relex after a tour through the city! Access is possible from each room! Breakfast is excellent!. I liked the beautifully comfortable room and bed, the best nights sleep I've ever had. Its hard to believe its in a busy area of Edinburugh as the room and terrace balcony is so peaceful and quiet..

Fantastic Place. The Balconies, Roof Garden. Lovely Staff Beautiful room Great Location. The friendly attentive and helpful staff. In middle of everything in city centre. The hotel is absolutely marvelous. Everything was excellent. most of things was good. The location is central. Location is excellent. Nothing. The decor was a bid jaded and I couldn't get on to the Internet. It said I was connected but then when I tried to go to Facebook or Google, it said no connection try again. I gave up after a half hour. Nothing. Leaving - will definitely be back. No facilities, as it was a special occasion we were really disapointed the honesty bar was closed for refurbishment & no restuarant in the hotel at present. Continental breakfast was ok, tea was a bit cold, but no big deal. Despite the fact that the hotel had a restaurant, evening meals were only available as room service which I found odd. The hotel did reccomend some local restaurants and the Italian one we went to was fantastic. There is no direct parking at the hotel but a parking house in the visinity. On arrival a deposit of £200.- was requested!. I didn't like the £50 taken from my credit card when I checked in, as I still haven't received my refund and I checked out 3 days ago. Only one type of single malt on honesty bar - even though they have suites named after whisky'S. Elements beginning to look tired/marked/stained Breakfast a little expensive for what you got, but was very tasty. As above. It was under renovation. Bar was under construction and modesty bar in middle of corridor. We loved it all and will definitely return!. Air con seemed to be set at 25C which was extremely uncomfortable. It was adjusted but took time to drop to a reasonable 22. Very long corridors so quite a hike to get to room. Slightly expensive. Slightly odd lay out to hotel, above a multiplex cinema complex (no noise) Long way to walk from reception to room. Overnight stay was a gift, would have found it a little too pricey had I been booking myself. Having to walk over for breakfast in the freezing cold!! Wouldn't be an issues in the summer. we couldnt fault it at all. Nothing. Not much. A little bit noisy in the front. Otherwise very nice views. Building work is still in progress, but should be finished soon. Considering most aspects of the stay were outstanding, there were a few small areas that let them down: old-fashioned TVs with with very few channels (no Freeview); room temperature monitor was clunky and difficult to use; artwork in rooms dated, and skirting in the halls needs and some decor to be redone. Lack of car parking. Noisy air con fan. Uncomfortable chairs in rooms. No bar apart from honesty bar!. The hotel was still under refurbishment and some facilities were out of use. Nothing. Not been able to stay longer. nothing. Nothing bad really. Just a bit of noise from outside. The breakfast room was not in keeping with hotel - we only had breakfast once as it was very cold - my husband had to send his breakfast back as he didn't feel it was cooked enough. Expensive but Festival time. Being charged for a morning paper that I didn't ask for. Had Trouble finding it because of the Glass Sign. It could do with being a bit more homely. There is a central bar location which was dead. I had no trouble locating the car park around the back but although I was made to believe I'd paid for 24hours, about £5 more was required when I left, having parked for only 20hours. Hotel staff told me I wouldn't need to pay, so it was a little embarrassing to have to turn back to pay at the exit. It wasn't too big a deal. On my first night in the hotel at 3:30 AM the fire alarm was ringing and we run out of room , 5 min's later the reception said we are sorry but some one come from out said and he broke the alarm and he run !! and they said sorry and have a good night !!!? i disappointed. Staff knocking on door when the do not disturb sign was up just to hand us the newspaper! It is being refurbished and this room was tired and needed it. Rooms were looking tired curtains didn't close properly fruit in the room wasn't fresh.
