disappointed

Liked: Location was very central
Disliked: No lift operating no offer to help with bags, room was very dark and felt claustrophobic, bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable, there was no circulating air as windows did not open

Passable

Pretty hotel, good location but...

Liked: Room 102, was very small and the 2 of us had to work around one another, bathroom was very good but you could regularly hear water coming down the waste from rooms above. It was a hot stay but having the window open was not an option as the room was on a small road and very noisy. The room was very dark wood, which made the room look smaller and there were no coasters in the room to put drinks etc onto, we improvised with a city map from reception.Great location for the city centre, didn't eat or drink at the hotel.

A very nice hotel, comfortable...

Liked: Appreciated the boutique feel. The most comfortable beds of our entire trip - which is important. Good location near main shopping, old town, Calton Hill and a short walk to Waverley - we only had a five-minute walk from the hotel to the airport transit bus stop when departing.

Superb

Liked: A welcome respite from the city and traveling. Great location - easy walk from the train station and sites. Rooms large by European standards, well-appointed, clean, comfortable and quiet. The location is just off the Main Street so most of the noise is elsewhere. Lovely biscuits in the room, too!

Love Edinburgh

Liked: Great location, close to Princess St and the train station.
Disliked: We had no view from our window

Exceptional

Pleasant

Liked: The bath was great. The shower was comfortable but took a little getting used to (as a Dutch person). The shower seemed adjustable with the waterflow but didn't seem to be working in that regard. Utilities were great (mini fridge, glasses & mugs and a kettle) Bed was very comfortable Location was great, the city centre was a 3 minute walk and a shopping centre nearby was also very close.
Disliked: The pillows on the bed were a bit too soft for my liking. There was no form of AC in the room, and since the window couldn't be opened very wide there wasn't a good airflow in the room to keep the room on moderate temperature. We did stay in the summer, so that mightve also been the reason the room got so hot in the first place.

Very good

Liked: Nice and comfortable spot. Easily near train station and other shops.
Disliked: Elevator says it is “out of order” but there’s no mechanism for it to leave the first floor. We got lucky and were only on the first floor but be aware!
