Value for money
We loved the cleanliness of the hotel, with the friendly cleaners doing a great job. The hotel facilities, including the well-equipped gym and swimming pool, were fantastic. The location was excellent, with easy access to all the main areas for shopping and attractions, including the famous Christmas Market. the breakfast served to us at our table was excellent, with plenty of choices.
Nothing not to love!
The location is ideal, being at the bottom of the Royal Mile and just a short walk from the main areas of the city. The hotel facilities were excellent, with a fully equipped gym and a decent-sized pool. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The hotel is also conveniently located right next to a bus stop, which made it easy for us to hop on and off the tour buses and explore the city.
Everything is what we need and want.
The location was excellent - close to the city center and with great views of the famous local landmark Arthur's Seat. The hotel itself was beautiful inside, with a stunning bar area. The staff were outstanding, especially the reception staff who were friendly and helpful. We were able to leave our luggage before and after check-in/check-out times, which was convenient. The breakfast included in the rate was fresh, warm, and had plenty of choices. the hotel was clean, had good facilities, and provided a comfortable stay.
All was perfect, with no negative aspects to mention.
It was opposite the Dynamic Earth attraction, which we highly recommend, and there were Sight Seeing tour buses directly outside. it was within walking distance and a nice walk from Waverley station. It was also easy to get to popular landmarks. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
Nothing to fault.
Excellent location near the Palace of Holyroodhouse and all attractions in this city. Beautiful hotel with welcoming and friendly staff.- Comfortable and spacious room with a lovely view of Arthurs seat.- Good size toiletries provided and fresh milk available on request.
Nothing.
