Fantastic!
I stayed at this hotel because I was participating in a race within walking distance (Holyrood Park). Upon arrival, the staff welcomed me with positive energy and smiles, accommodated me swiftly without any delay and were extremely friendly when I inquired any information from transportation to the airport to assistance with a personal matter. This is a highly recommended hotel and located close to a grocery store, restaurants, and is central to the town.

Excellent hotel, superb service and custoemr service
Having returned from a 2 night stay I must highly recommed this hotel. From arrival to departure the staff made you feel so welcome and couldnt do enough for you. The bedrooms were large and spotless as were all the public areas. We used the pool which again was spotless. Great location, few minutes walk to The Royal Mile and shopping. Would definately stay here again.

This hotel is a gem.
This was a lovely hotel. The room was upscale and fresh. Great air conditioning, view, furnishings, lobby. Reception staff and information desk were most helpful. Would go back here in a second!

Great value
Having worked for the Ritz-Carlton is the only thing that stops me from rating this a 5 star. It's not very large, but what it does have is high-quality and very comfortable. The concierge staff is amazing and very knowledgeable, so be sure to utilize their service

Sightseeing tip:
Short drive from hotel
DO take the bus tour...this from someone who loathes tours. And on the tour buy your tickets to Edinburgh castle, if you plan to go, because it will save you much time and boredom from standing in the purchase line.

Great location with great price
Just around the corner from the Royal Mile this hotel was in a great location for seeing all of the sites in Edinburgh. Hotel was nicer than we expected, personnel were friendly and helpful and food in restaurant was great if a bit on the expensive side (we ate there twice). Rooms had small fridges (great for the beer and wine)very comfy beds, nicely decorated, we felt very comfortable. Concierge helped us organize taxies and even a driver with car for the day to take us to a remote location not on the tourist route. Would have no hesitation going back, top marks!

Great Hotel and a Great Location
We wanted a little indulgence at the end of our two week England trip so booked 2 nights here. We are glad we did. Most comfortable and a great location at the bottom of the Royal Mile. Just a short cab ride from the train station. Very helpful staff.
