Very Good

The staff at the front desk need some customer service skills and seem to hate thier job. This firm 3 pm check in makes everyone wait in the lobby until the exact minute to book in. Crazy way to do things.

Liked: Staff & service
Great location, cleanliness could’ve been better.
Location was great - 12 min walk from Waverley train station, directly on a large shopping street with all the buses and trams, a 15 min walk to the Royal Mile. Lots of cafes and fast food options right next to the hotel. Check in and check out very easy and quick, staff was very welcoming. Room was spacious. I question the use of carpeting for flooring as it’s fairly rainy in Edinburgh so it obviously gets damp and musty when you come in the room with your wet shoes and coats. It would also have been nice to have somewhere to put your suitcase rather than on the floor.
The room we had was so hot with now windows. I brought it up to the front desk and It was still hot even after mentioning it to the staff. Overall, the hotel was not what I expected to be. the only good thing about it was the walkability to the train station and city center. I reserved three nights but because of the uncomfortable room temperature we have to leave after 2 nights. I was not refunded for the night I didn't stay.
The location is perfect! The hotel is in the center of all the attractions, and even walkable from the train. However, cleanliness needs to improve. We received dirty towels several times. The room should have been dusted, too.
Did not appreciate the checking in experience. Early check in $15.00 was agreed but not a word stating it would apply for all 3 nights. Scam worthy indeed and shameful.
Hotel is perfectly located on Princes Street with plenty to see and do within walking distance. The front staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast which I purchased a couple of mornings was great value with 2 kids. The room itself was disappointing- while the bed was very comfortable, the room was very basic and grubby.
