Comfortable stay

Very comfortable, refurbishment of the bar was lovely but prices have gone up because of this. Unfortunately the food is quite expensive and very fancy (they used to do very good pizza). I had a steak ‘sandwich’ which was £19 and tiny - fine for me but a man would’ve been left pretty hungry after. Excellent staff as always

Would recommend!

Had a brilliant stay here! Hotel was in a great location for Waverley station, shops and the theatre. Staff were all so lovely and approachable. Rooms were a good size, well decorated and clean. Breakfast was varied and tasteful. The spa was lush! Only minor issues were that we had booked two twin rooms and neither rooms actually had twin beds. Both had double beds made up. Not a big issue for us as it was a mother and daughter pair staying in both rooms but might not be appropriate for other people. Also the chlorine in the swimming pool was stinging our eyes so badly we could only stay in for 5 minutes. Other people there were struggling too. All in all though, I would definitely stay here again!

Great stay for visit to the Playhouse. Walking distance from Waverly station, to St James Quarter and Playhouse. Best location for what we we had planned. Floor 0 takes you to Waverly station avoiding all the traffic lights and longer walk to station. Staff lovely, rooms beautiful.
