From dirty carpets to being a pub like environment. Outside it looks like a disused warehouse. Inside the carpets are so dirty, the staff looks overworked and rude, although they try to be helpful. No room service, people standing on the front door smoking all day. I’m not going back there again. It’s more of a pub than a hotel.

The property needs an extensive overhaul. Curtains in rooms was awful. It was not even hung properly on the windows. Bathroom extremely cold and no heater to warm it up. If this was meant to be a room for disabled people, how are they meant to shower? Someone in a wheelchair would not be able to shower. Must be honest did not rate the bathroom very much.

Most hotels that stayed in has free WiFi its a shame that we have to pay 7 pounds for 24 hours also been placed in the basements rooms where there is no phone signal cant call or text or use the internet but had to pay extra 20 pounds just to move rooms. New room was ok just wish that the windows can open abit more.

Place was clean & tidy, Room looked like it was newly refurbished, was large and spacious. Bathroom was spotless. Only annoyance was the emergency light above the door, (possibly because room has no window). Bright green glow to the whole room all night... :-( Night porter was helpful and friendly even at 4am! He told me to park at coach area at front of property as there was no parking left at all, so I paid the £5 parking and left car at 4am sat (obviously no coaches were going to arrive after that) I went for car Sunday morning to find some plonker had left a hand written note saying they were going to report me to Police for parking in a coach space??? Even though this was advised by Britannia staff. Breakfast was very good but also very expensive at £12 !!! (Premier Inn are only £8). Apart from this my stay was excellent and would happily book again...

OK for the price.

Pros: The price was ok for a city break.
Cons: Better room service, plus stop the coach drivers from running their engines for 15 mins before they set off right next to the bedrooms at 8-00am.
Location: Near dean village, and the Leith river walk.
We found the staff in the hotel to be friendly, the room was clean, a good breakfast,value for money for a city hotel these are the plus points, the minus points are a little far out 20 mins walk from princes street and same to the haymarket rail station, also on our last night our room had not been serviced when we asked why we were told that they were short staffed, to me that is no excuse, also our room was next to the main road so we had to sleep with the windows closed.

RUGBY WEEKEND

Pros: The staff were helpful.
Cons: The cleanliness of the rooms needs a bit of attention.
Location: For a Rgby weekend it was ideal for access to the local bars and eateries also close to Murrayfield which is a bonus.
The hotel is OK for a short stay with basic accommodation - the cleaners need a bit of instruction on how to clean a room.

Out of the way but near all major bus routes

Night bar staff not interested in giving you a drink for your room even the you collect at the bar. One chap was OK other Scottish guy not interested in and lacked any form of commission other that no. 3 star service not.
