Small bathrooms, lack of complimentary amenities and no advance notice of significant nearby construction.
Good location, friendly staff, disappointing that myself and daughter never got offered complimentary Prosecco drinks on arrival, observed when waiting in reception at the end of our break that all customers checking in got prosecco

Room was on the third floor. Main problem was noise from the street as windows very thin. Mattress not the most comfortable.
Location is great, room is very clean. Staffs are very helpful. Don't forget to book breakfast in hotel restaurant which is great selection and super value. Will definitely go back again.
The location was exceptional for everything we had planned and despite being located next Waverley railway station we never heard a train.
Our room on the 5th floor (recommended by the receptionist) was well worth its executive status with a great view of the city

Room had developed a sewage smell when we retruned from a night - was offered similar room. Was Ok moving - but was frustrating when 30mins later (when we were asleep) the night manager came back to check if there was anything in the fridge (there wasn't).

Lovely hotel, excellent location and the staff were lovely
There were a few tiny issues but it was a nice stay; way nicer than the hotel I had during my first visit to Edinburgh in 2023. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Staff was amazing ..perfect location and was clean! Only this I didn’t care for was the shower as it had no full shower door to slide close so the floor would get wet while I shower but I think this is a common design in a lot of European hotels …still 5 stars!
