Room was clean, adequate size. Lighting was a little low in both the bathroom and bedroom. I couldn’t adjust temperature and it was a bit warm at night. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Stayed here for two nights in a suite. Our experience was just ok. The food was good, the blackout curtains were nice after a long flight, and we met a nice gentleman who was part of the housekeeping staff. The negatives outweighed the positives though. The bed was rock hard and we woke up stiff. People we met at breakfast had the same experience. The blonde girl at the front desk was quite rude when we called down, even hanging up on me before I was finished speaking. Either she was having a rough day or her personality is not well suited for hospitality. The drains in the bathroom didn’t work properly so the shower and sink were constantly backed up which meant you had to race to wash your face before the sink spilled over. The shower wand was also leaking.

St James’s Centre and Prince’s Street/George Street immediately adjacent. Room immaculate and ideal shower/wash room. Quiet bedroom and exceptionally comfortable bed. Lift system a little quirky but reception staff welcoming and willing to help at every turn. Bus/tram system appears perfect for most peoples needs.

Room was great very clean and interesting décor. Restaurant and Bar were also good lots of food options for a reasonable price. The only reason why it didn't get an excellent rating is because we were charged for drinks when we received a coupon at reception for free drinks (or 14 pounds off) at the bar. Ended up paying $50 CAD for 2 drinks even though bartender said it was covered.

We liked the friendly and efficient staff. The location is superb, situated in St Andrew’s Square and only a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley railway station, Princes Street and St James shopping mall. Our room was compact, clean and very comfortable. We liked the fact that it had a safe and a fridge in what would be described as a standard room.

A lovely hotel on St. Andrew’s Square. Elevators are a bit confusing, but easily manageable. Breakfast was delicious and there are many options. Old Town is just a stones throw away. Staff is exceptionally friendly and eager to help out. I recommend this place to all!!!
