Nice place. Our room was above the outdoor bar area, and a little noisy until mid-evening in fine weather.

This is our favourite hotel each time we visit Scotland from Australia. Always comfortable and clean. This time however we had our toilet leaking and the vanity sink blocking up. We did report this. This would not change our opinion of the hotel or stop us visiting again or recommending it to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Dark room

There are no room lights in these very convenient and comfortable rooms. Only bedside lamps. As it got dark at 4pm this is an issue for usability of the room.

Dear Amy, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the lighting issue you had with your room, it seems this design can become an issue especially at this time of year. I will certainly pass your feedback on to management. On the other hand I am glad you found the rooms comfortable for your stay. We do hope to welcome you back, Thank you Craig Tidy - Front Office Supervisor

Great location

Carpark is handy. Luggage has stairs when u come into hotel, so take ur muscles to lift them. Hotel seems a little tired, but rooms were very good.

Good view

Great views of the castle from our 2nd floor room. A little bit noisy at night as overlooks a few pubs and restaurants in the grassmarket. A short walk from most items of intetest and about a 15min walk up the hill and down the other side from the station. Overall pretty good value.
