A lovely comfortable stay in great surroundings reflecting the premium price of the rooms. The location isn't really central for the shops and attractions but it's all within walking distance if you're fit enough. 2 mins up onto the Royal Mile but 10mins to the busy part and 20mins to Princes Street or Grassmarket. Leave the car at home if... More

We went for a one night break - the staff were fantastic - very attentive. The room was a standard double and was lovely - very warm with a fantastic large and comfortable bed. Large flat screen TV on an arm. There was a dirty mark on one wall which had clearly been where a shoe had scuffed it -... More

Just spent a week at this modern hotel and spa which is located near to the new Parliament building. The rooms are spacious and in a 'colonial' style with all the modern touches and even a shoe polishing service. The restaurant food was of good quality with a different set price menue every evening. Breakfasts were to a good standard... More

I've stayed here many times and always had good rooms. Standard rooms are decent size, you get 2 armchairs and a desk too. Bath is modern. I particularly like the fact that the hotel is just a little off the beaten track, you can open bedroom windows and still get no city noise. It's right next to the parliament, so... More

After reporting this a few times we were moved to another room on the ground floor with a working television. We found the service at dinner time extremely slow(waited... More

We stayed at this hotel upon suggestion of a friend and we were not disappointed. Parking is minimal at most hotels in Edinburgh so we were happy to discover there was a car park available albeit at a pre-booked price of £25. The valet who parked our car and explained what was going on when we arrived was very helpful.... More
