Dear Guest, Thank you for your recent stay and for taking the time to share your feedback. We hope to welcome you back to our hotel soon! Sincerely,
Beautiful property, comfy bed, lovely room and great bathroom spotlessly clean. Could be hot and stuffy in summer as there’s no air con or any ventilation in room (save a window that does open)
Checkout was terribly slow. They had only one staff member on front desk at a peak time in the morning and a long queue.

Overall lovely hotel great location but probably wouldn’t stay here again. Very disappointed with layout very confusing to get to our room. Spent a lot of time each time figuring it out terribly confusing. Would be just awful for older guests. Also a bit pricey.

Dear J, Thank you for the great review of our hotel! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again very soon. Sincerely,
Superb service at this lovely hotel
Pros:
Just about everything...
Cons:
Fresh flowers in public areas rather than silk ones
Location:
Centrally locked - everything on your door step near tram too
I loved my short stay at this gorgeous hotel. You are guaranteed a warm welcome. The rooms are very comfortable and the location is ideal. I really couldn't fault anything. Lovely bar - good house champagne. Fresh milk in the fridge/good tuck box. All the little touches that make a difference but the overwhelming strength of this hotel is the staff.

Dear Guest, Thank you for the great review of our hotel! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again very soon. Sincerely,
Pleasant hotel in a attractive and convenient area
Pros:
Blend of building styles, decor, location and the staff.
Location:
The hotel is on the most attractive street in Edinburgh,close to the best shops and restaurants to satisfy most tastes.
Top marks in all aspects apart from the bed which one of us found too firm and the bar which we felt lacked intimacy.

Dear Guest, Thank you for the great review of our hotel! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again very soon. Sincerely,
Great Hotel very central
Pros:
The room was first class
Cons:
The attention to hotel guests when private functions are on.
Location:
The location was excellent that why we choose that hotel, we were born in Edinburgh and moved to Spain 11 years ago. reason for visit family reunion.
This was a wonderful hotel , on arrival at 1.30 am in the morning, they had upgrades us from a standard double room to a Junior suite. The cleanliness was first class the only thing we could fault was that the hotel was very busy with private functions. We were there to meet our family and invited my husband 3 sisters and their husbands for a drink but unfortunately we had to leave without drinks, not enough staff to cope with everyone.
Other than that our stay was excellent.

Wir sind sehr nett empfangen worden. Als wir jedoch das Doppelbettzimmer in ein Kingsize-Bettzimmer wechseln wollten, kam sofort win „nein“ ohne sich Mühe zu geben, sich zu vergewissern, ob ws andere Möglichkeit gab. Doch der Ärger kam mit dem Feühstück. Wir missten jeden Morgen auf einen freien Tisch warten. Das Personal war überfordert und drehte sich im Kreis. Die Bar war in einen Frühstücksbereich umfunktioniert worden und die Tische waren nicht gut organisiert. Sehr enttäuschend!!! Die Mehrheit der Gäste war damit unzufrieden. Ansonsten top Lage und sehr sauber. allerdings fehlte auch das Vanity-kit im Bad. Die Frage danach stiess auf taube Ohren. Alles in allem nicht fünf Sterne würdig!!!!!
