An overall pleasant stay here for our trip from London to Edinburgh. We were here for 2 nights and were satisfied with the stay. The location is about a 20/30 minute walk or so from the royal mile, depending on which route you take. This meant you were far enough away from the hustle and bustle but if you’re not an avid walker, maybe a closer location or public transport is for you. Parking is advertised as available but limited. It is very limited. We couldn’t find a space on arrival so needed to park down a side road for our stay. We were told to move our car to a space as soon as one became available, but one didn’t. The staff were all very friendly, accommodating and helpful. It was very refreshing and welcoming for us “first timers” The breakfast was nice on both mornings. A lovely menu to select hot food from to order and then a buffet style for cold items. A good selection for both and some quintessentially Scottish items available. The hotel at booking double charged me by mistake which was an expensive blip but they reimbursed me for this and we did get an upgrade to a larger room when I asked for some sort of gesture for the inconvenience. The room was pleasant, traditional, albeit slightly on the tired side which didn’t feel like the rest of the hotel. But that was fine. It had a large bathroom and the shower was very good. And all the amenities as expected. It was a very very warm room I must say, I turned the heater off and opened the window for our whole visit, we even slept with the fan on which we weren’t expecting in November Edinburgh. It wasn’t unbearably hot but if you feel the cold and like to be warm this one is for you! We had quite a nice distant view of the castle. The bed was huge and the mattress comfortable. The pillows weren’t our cup of tea but that was personal choice. There were a couple more in the wardrobe but they were more of the same. In the night I thought I could hear someone in our bathroom which turned out to be upstairs. So that was surprisingly loud, and the door onto the corridor didn’t do much for soundproofing as we heard many comings and goings in the night. Overall we had a pleasant day, and it was what we needed for a short break in the city. Just a couple of minor bits that could’ve been improved. less

The location is excellent, with a fifteen minute walk to the city centre. The hotel also provided parking, which was easily accessible. I arrived early, but was allowed to check in and leave my car in the car park anyway. The room was nice enough, with good internet and comfortable beds. However, something must be done about the doors into the neighbouring rooms. Even though my neighbours weren't particularly loud, noise travelled freely into my room. I had an early flight and the noise made it difficult to sleep. The breakfast was very nice, with a wide spread of options ranging from a full Scottish to coffee and croissants. Everything was well prepared. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. less
