Perfect location. Great views of Castle and princes gardens. Lovely restaurant and bar areas with quality furnishings. Staff were lovely. Hotel didn't feel very clean. Rooms basic not worthy of £280 p/nt!!

Perfect location

My wife and I stayed for two nights and I have to say despite the on-going refurbishment in some areas of the building, this did not detract from an extremely enjoyable stay. The reception staff were great, the dining room is a fantastic place to eat, full of character with excellent service. The Juniper bar prices were surprisingly good for a hotel and again bar staff were attentive. The bedroom was large enough, a comfortable bed, plenty of wardrobe space and bathroom was very well stocked with toiletries. Some of the higher number bedrooms are a bit of hike if you are elderly and have to carry cases up stairs (not much in the way of an elevator), but again there was assistance on offer from reception so no need to struggle. If I could offer one bit of advice it would be the installation of double-glazing as you look out on to the very busy Princes Street and hence will hear traffic and the occasional late-night reveller. But again this did not detract form our experience. Overall we would definitely go back again - perfect location for seeing Edinburgh's delights.

Great location

The location was great, so to was the staff. The Entrance to the hotel, reception and bar was lovely. Very clean and modern, however the rooms were not like this. The rooms were clean however they were very tired and old fashioned.

Perfect City Centre Location

Not only does the Royal British Hotel have the perfect city centre location it also has very friendly, helpful staff and spotlessly clean well appointed rooms. And all at a very reasonable price. In addition it also has Juniper bar with stunning views across the city centre and a very well stocked bar. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone.
