Positives; great location, nice decor, very friendly staff. Negatives; general housekeeping - cushions/pillows left on ground after room was serviced. Crisps in 'tuck box' contained beef (I am vegetarian). Noisy radiator. Room service dishes and glasses left in hallways for long periods. Bedside lights only working on one side of bed. No availability in hotel restaurant for residents on either night I stayed and no alternatives offered. Wine served at 'social hour' of low quality - like ribena mixed with battery acid. Cocktail ordered in bar contained human hair. Breakfast ok but a la carte took a long time to arrive and was of medium to low quality.

Thanks ever so much to Cristina and Rosie for upgrading my room for my birthday and adding some personal touches to the birthday welcome (the complimentary drink, chocolates and card). They really made a huge difference to my birthday weekend. Fantastic massage from Michelle and thanks to Ricky for managing to find a slot for me for my birthday. Bar staff were very knowledgable as well and the housekeeping staff were very efficient. Loved the location too! Was a bit of a shame I couldn’t earn IHG points from the room charges, but I really hope to stay there again soon!

Very good hotel in convenient location. Really well maintained rooms - strikes a good balance between modern design and old world charm. My experience in the restaurant was disappointing however which shows their kitchen standards need to be brought up to the same 5 star standards as the rest of the hotel.

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Frühstück auch sehr gut. Poolbereich/Umkleidebereich war etwas unhygienisch (Fussboden ziemlich dreckig), der Pool an sich jedoch für ein Hotel sehr schön. Zimmer war herzig und perfekt für unseren Aufenthalt in Edinburgh. Würden bei einem weiteren Besuch der Stadt wieder dieses Hotel buchen.
