Like: - central location Dislike: - awlful amenities with terrible water pressure - like a century home with dirty carpet and outdated bathroom fixtures - breakfast has mould on bread - service was below average - charged too much for what it offers more

This hotel has the best view in the whole of Edinburgh. It is located centrally to everything, tour buses, shopping centres and shops. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. We had one or two hiccups with blocked sink and dripping tap but this was attended to immediately. The price was superb and I am now planning... more

Stayed four nights at The Royal British Hotel in Edinburgh in August 2009 (visiting from Aarhus, Denmark). The location couldn't be better. Rooms maybe somewhat neglected but the staff was very nice and helpful - I particularly remember one young female receptionist. Another great feature of the hotel is the cosy restaurant/bar. All in all, my brother and I were... more

Even that has its drawbacks - overlooking busy Princes St menas you need earplugs or be completely blind drunk to get any sleep. They don't seems to have heard of double glazing. My room was grubby and the bed was very old and uncomfortable. It... more
