My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were initially not up to standard, but after a change, they ended up being cozy and relaxing, perfect for a winter getaway. The service was a bit hit-and-miss, with some lovely interactions but also some lapses in communication. The location was great for exploring the old town and castle, despite some inconveniences with noise and timing. The dining options were good but could have been better organized. Overall, a comfortable stay with some areas needing improvement.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were nice and well looked after, offering a separate bathroom and toilet, which was great for privacy. The staff were very friendly and helpful, making the overall experience pleasant. The location was excellent, just a short walk to Grassmarket, with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby.

The hotel is ideally located within easy walking distance of the Old and New City, offering a great spot to explore Edinburgh. The rooms, while basic, could use some improvement in cleanliness, especially with a noticeable coffee stain and hair on the floor. The service was excellent, with a warm welcome and a sweet gesture for my son's birthday. The location is a standout feature, perfect for reaching major attractions like the Old Town, Grassmarket, and Edinburgh Castle. However, the dining experience fell short, not living up to the additional cost. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancements.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spotlessly clean and had a large double bed, and the shower was amazing. Despite the room being a bit too hot, opening the windows helped. The meal I had in the bar at night was very nice. The staff were friendly and always available to help. The location was central with good public transport connections, though a bit 'hilly' if walking from Princes Street. The dining experience offered a good variety of choices. Overall, a great stay with minor room temperature concerns.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and tidy, but the layout was a bit odd with separate areas for the toilet and washing your hands. Despite being spotless, some aspects like limited coat hangers didn't make the stay ideal.
