My room was well appointed with a lovely walk-in shower, and the quality of breakfast was great. Having 2 double beds was a bonus. However, it didn't seem as well prepared as my previous stay. There were no biscuits for guests on arrival, no linen for the couch/bed, and my wife got stuck in the bathroom due to the unreliable lock on the door. The heating system was not great.

The hotel gave us a view of the city and the Firth of Forth river, neat and clean but showing its age. The rooms were a little tired but very clean, with a horrendous noise disrupting our sleep. It lacked modern amenities like a safe and had poor sound insulation. The location was good for us, a bit further from city attractions but convenient for transportation. The dining experience, though unorganized, had plenty of options. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.

The hotel's location close to the bus station and helpful staff make it a convenient choice for a weekend stay in Edinburgh. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, providing a good night's sleep but lacking in water pressure. The dining experience is excellent with plenty of choice, while the busy location can be a bit messy at times. The hotel offers a well-maintained pool but with some issues like a short hose. Overall, a good value for money option for those looking for a central spot in Edinburgh.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were warm, comfortable, clean, and spacious, which was great. However, the staff were a bit slow in responding to requests, and the cold room needed multiple reminders to adjust the heating. The location was convenient with easy access to the city center, but the dimly lit signposts made it tricky to find the hotel in the dark.

The hotel staff was very welcoming and helpful during my two-night stay, but there was a serious noise problem one night that they had to address. Unfortunately, they couldn't refund me for the third night I had canceled. The location, within walking distance of Princes Street, was convenient and had good bus routes, making it great for a short stay. However, there was an extra charge of £5 per night for parking, which was a bit disappointing.

The hotel offers well-designed rooms with everything needed but can get a bit cold even with the heating on. The two comfortable double beds with cozy bedding are a plus. The service, especially from Michael, was excellent although a bit delayed at times. The location is great for tourists, with easy access to bus transport and close proximity to major attractions like Edinburgh Castle. The dining experience, while clean and modern, could improve with a wider food selection. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and a convenient location.

The hotel is conveniently located near shops and a supermarket, but a bit far from halal restaurants. The rooms are very small, with bathroom facilities for disabled that smelled bad, likely why the window was open and it wasn't ready upon our arrival. The service was exceptional, especially accommodating for my elderly mother. The location offers good links to the city and a friendly bus service, but additional charges for Wi-Fi could add up for longer stays. The dining options were very limited, but the scrambled eggs were great. The facilities were basic but satisfactory.
