Weekend getaway
The hotel is in a great location, with an easy walk to Grassmarket. The room was spacious and decorated very nicely. The staff were great and the breakfast was extremely good! The only downside was that the room was very hot, and the thermostat was difficult to use. It wouldn’t stop me from staying here again though!

Room was mostly nice and clean, but some staining on the carpets. Staff were really friendly and attentive. We booked a castle view room, which was way more expensive than other rooms, and barely had a view of the castle. We could mostly see the building across the road. Really not worth the extra money and a big disappointment given such a difference in price. I’d stay here again but wouldn’t spend the extra for this type of room again.

The nightly rate for this hotel is Resort level, but what you're getting is an average night at a Holiday Inn. There is "climate control" but not air conditioning--and that matters more and more in Europe in the summer. The pool is small and they charge extra for using a robe. When we checked in, we were not told about any of the services or opening times for amenities. Essentially we were not "welcomed," we took part in a (expensive) business transaction. Since I felt that I was paying for a Resort, I did expect friendly, more enthusiastic customer service, a robe included, and nicer changing rooms for the small pool. Edinburgh is an expensive city, especially in the summer, but my advice is to book way in advance for a better rate--and if you're going to pay this rate, make sure you're getting plenty of amenities.

Best nights sleep!
Really nice stay. Probably the best nights sleep I’ve ever had a in hotel. The beds were really comfortable and the climate control kept the room at a pleasant temperature. Nice bathroom, with separate loo. Good breakfast choice, nice bar and lounge area in reception. Didn’t use the pool but it looked good. Easy walk to the main attractions of central Edinburgh. Would stay here again.
