Great stay, I'd recommend this hotel! (97844051)

positive comments The hotel is excellent, the rooms are spacious. All the staff were pleasant, particularly the woman who checked us in.
negative comments The lack of a lift - understandable as the hotel is a listed building and no restaurant for lunch/dinner.

The hotel was lovely, modernised and staff friendly. Breakfast was a bit spartan and lacked a choice of fruit (continental)but would definitely stay again. Ther is no dinner served, but restaurants were nearby. It was very quiet, warm and the standard of cleanliness was very high. (97281758)

positive comments /l01arge, sp0/acious accommodation. Strong power shower with plenty of h/ot wat9er. 91Warm bathroom and well fitted out. The wallpaper /was 039/da0ted, which was a shame as it did not fit with the furnishings.5
negative comments The hotel staff were overly friendly and some invaded personal space. I saw one business man couldn't put a spoon into his mouth at breakfast because the manageress was hovering over him. She then sat at his table!I feel that they thought solo travellers needed company and were over-compensating.

Stephen from Didcot, United Kingdom;GB (Solo leisure traveller) 30 August 2006

The name of the hotel has changed, which was disconcerting on arrival. The location is good - a Georgian crescent - and convenient for central Edinburgh. The hotel is comfortable and well, and newly, decorated. I was asked to change rooms after one night. I didn't get a very clear explanation why, but the second room was better than the first so I didn't mind. The TV was not up to much, but not a problem for me. It's a long walk up stairs to the top of the hotel where my room was located; I wouldn't recommend it for the frail or unfit. The breakfast was ordinary, although a cooked breakfast could be ordered the day before. The staff were friendly. (3304915254)

positive comments Very spacious room in excellent decorative order, with a good view, and friendly staff
negative comments Continental breakfast was very average
