Good location, decent stay
Hotel was under renovation and due to that, lobby was in a temporary location and access to elevators was through dining area, which was not very convenient with luggage. Other than that, stay was ok. Our rooms were good, comfortable bed and great shower and bath. Did not eat here so can’t comment on food. Bar area was not very appealing, but again, I think the temporary lobby was using up part of it.

Nice hotel but not 5 stars: Shower head is missing, room service only starts at 7 am, reception area is very laid back. However, very nice location of the property and comfortable room.

Everyone was very helpful and we enjoyed the pool, bar and restaurant more than once! Such a great trip! My only complaint was they did not have any outlet adapters available for us to use and we were in a bind.

This is one of the best hotels we stayed at on our many travels. The water pressure was amazing in the shower we had big huge comfy robes to wear. They even surprise me with a birthday welcome with chocolates and balloons. The location is fantastic and they even have direct access or I should say very close access to the train station which is phenomenal for travelling throughout Scotland. We’re definitely going back to Scotland and I would highly recommend anyone going to Edinburgh to stay here
