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. However, the dining experience could have been improved with a wider range of options available.

The hotel rooms were not serviced until late in the day and replacement towels were short, but besides that, everything was beautiful. The service was impressive, especially in dealing with specific requests like noise complaints. The location is not as central as advertised, more suitable for the Edinburgh Festival crowd. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some aspects being excellent while others fell short. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel was great and in a great location. The rooms were excellent but a bit noisy due to rattling in the vents from the wind. The service was super friendly and attentive, with an early breakfast shift available. The location was perfect for exploring Edinburgh on foot. The dining was good with a lot of variety, and the leisure facilities were also enjoyable.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit disappointing upon arrival, being late and not as clean as expected, but eventually turned out to be fabulous, clean, spacious, and modern. The service was very helpful and friendly. The location was excellent, although a few cleanliness issues were noted nearby. The dining options were good overall, with a few minor inconveniences.
