Fantastic hotel

Stayed here with my daughter and could not fault the place. Rooms compact and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. Would have liked a small fridge, however pretty minor In the scheme of things. Breakfast was delicious. Every member of staff were polite, helpful and cheerful. Want to give a shout out to the Scottish fella on reception who extremely helpful with recommendations. Didn't catch his name. Finally location was brilliant. 5 mins walk from Waverley station.

Brilliant location

Location couldn’t be better, view of the Castle, within walking distance of the Royal Mile and all attractions. Worth paying for an upgraded room as view from front of the hotel is great. Work does start at 8 in the week at the building next door but not that bad. All staff were lovely and worth paying £12 for breakfast

They have spent a lot of money to bring this hotel up to date, its just a pity that they never invested on some of the internal fittings. Bathroom door had seen better days and some of the fttings were hanging off or brocken. And although new carpets had been fitted there was dips underneath.

In transition

This hotel has a great location and potentially a great hotel. You walk in in the elevator that helps you go up to six steps is out of order and was for the whole week. The sewer had backed up and the smell in the elevator,was revolting. Putrid. They did their best, but it was unbearable. they blamed it on the storm that had just passed through, but it had been over a week. I was on the sixth floor and they are renovating a few of the rooms. There was plastic covering the carpets and workers were there all day but they were pretty quiet. The room was very pleasant looking however, the air conditioning and heat was a little bit of a problem, as it was new. They are transitioning from radiators to central air. The radiator worked great… When it worked. The last negative thing I have to say is the bed… Not hotel quality. Hard as a rock and very cheap. They need to upgrade their mattresses to more of a pillow top Kush type of mattress. now that I got all of the negative things out of the way. I cannot say enough about the service and the view. The service was top-notch and the view was spectacular. The staff was so accommodating and lovely. The breakfast was good and worth 11£. However, the eggs have something to be desired. The chef needs to work on that. The fish and chips I had for dinner were delicious. Like I mentioned in the title, this hotel is in transition. Hopefully in another month, it’ll be finished. In the end, great staff, great view great service and great locati

The view from my room onto the castle was lovely, and the location is really central. It can get a bit noisy though since it’s on a main Street.
