Excellent 3 night stay, I will definitely be back. The hotel is perfectly situated. Very close to the tram line to the airport (5min walk) and maybe a 10min to Waverly train station, but it’s also on a very quiet street and very close to the Royal Mile and all the sights. I have nothing negative to say. The room was spacious, the bed and bathroom were very clean and comfortable and the staff was always helpful and friendly.

Nice enough, but wouldn't stay here again

This is a no-frills hotel and we were expecting more for the price. I should have read more closely. A 4 story hotel with no elevator. There is no AC (which I knew) but it was uncomfortable for a July stay. We had to sleep with the window open, and they did provide room fan. No elevator was a big bummer since we were on the 4th floor. Not being able to turn off the bathroom towel warmer only made the room warmer. Power outlets at each night stand had not been upgraded but they did have USB. I have a CPAP machine, so I needed real power. They did provide a power strip upon request, so I made it work. The shower water pressure was terrible. WiFi service was inconsistent. I had to switch to using personal hot spot

A rat sneaked into the room on the first night of my stay. Horrified, it woke my mum up as she quickly attempted to trap it in the cupboard as to not damage our clothes or the luggage in the room. The next morning, i complained about this to the hotel staff, who at the reception, were very kind and helpful. They said the rat probably came from a small crack within the outside walls, and they switched our rooms. They also agreed to provide a refund for the first night, which was now ruined. However, the problem amplified within the upper management. The receptionist told me my complaint would be "forwarded to the person handling refunds" in order to provide me with one. Let me be clear, as i'm writing this I stayed in the hotel 2 weeks ago and i have YET to be approached or contacted. I asked the reception again and again for any updates on my case and they kept saying i'd be contacted "soon". Now one of the 2 things are probably happening here. 1) Either the process of refunding one night really takes this hotel more than 2 weeks (very unlikely), or 2) The management in charge of it is stalling on purpose, not contacting me in the hopes of me just forgetting about it and moving on so that they wouldn't have to reach into their pockets to pay a fair night's refund. I don't know about you, but the latter seems what's happening to me right now. The reception is really friendly, it's just the management that seems to be the problem here.

We were so pleased with our stay! Will definitely be back. The service was fantastic, we were able to leave our bags for a few hours after checkout, and they were really polite. The bedroom was huge with a grand bed, gorgeous windows and a quaint bathroom to suit our needs. There was even a tea and coffee area. The only comment I would make was it seemed a little outdated, the lamp was flickering and one of the towels had a small hole. But it was extremely tidy and a comfortable stay. A good price too. Again, I definitely see myself coming back.

Schönes Hotel

Das Hotel liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstrasse. Zu Fuss ist alles gut erreichbar. Das Personal ist freundlich und immer gut gelaunt. Bei meinem zweiten Aufenthalt in Edinburgh bin ich wieder ins Albany.
