£150 for the night seemed expensive for what was supplied although I appreciate that it was during Edinburgh Festival so all hotels were inflating their prices and having left booking late, choice was limited. Would plan to stay more centrally next time but hotel was fine. (107192739)

positive comments Was available "last minute". Sited fairly near to places of visit. Room spacious and clean. Continental breakfast was good.
negative comments En suite facilities very basic - no shampoo etc provided. Went for breakfast 20 minutes before it "closed" so was irritated that staff (whilst friendly) were hurrying us before we'd even started. Had to park about a mile away as local options were limited and taken.

la lamentela è sul servizio approssimato e la pulizia scadente. la la presentazione dell'hotel su internet è efficace. forse promette più di quanto non dia. (97428886)

positive comments la posizione abbastanza centrale, gli asciugamani cambiati regolarmente e puliti, sufficentemente buona e abbondante la colazione
negative comments rubinetto rotto, 2 coperte piccole invece di 1 grande in letto matrimoniale, non ricambi regolari di tazze bicchieri e cucchiaini e rifornimenti inadeguate di te e zucchero. mancanza di lampada sul comodino, rotture di impianto elettrico e tentativo di attribuire la colpa della rottura agli ospiti

On arriving at the hotel it looked fine we arrived early so we were told to leave our bags and we could check in after 2pm they said our bags would be put in our room but when we arrived back 8 hours later our bags were still in the same place for everyone to see. e also had to change rooms due to a number of problems no shower working, no telephone, broken lampshade and no bulb, and a curtain rail that was hanging off the wall.

A pleasant stay (97065809)

positive comments Very clean and comfortable
negative comments Breakfast service was fair, although certain items they ran out of, before the end of service. Also the language barrier was sometimes a problem with the foreign waitresses, I dont think we were understood sometimes.

My room was downstairs and there was no offer of assistance to take the bag down and the people staying were prodominately elderly. Also when I went for breakfast I waited to be seated as asked but was then seated at a table that was filthy, 2 people had already eaten at it and when my toast was bought he just placed it in the the only space left and didn't clear the table. No explanation as to how breakfast was done, I'm afraid that was very poor. (99306535)

positive comments The accomadation was clean and the staff were helpful and polite, in some of the positions.
negative comments really couldn't complain about the accomadation.

JEFFREY from JEFFERSON CITY, MO, US (Family with older children) 11 June 2007

My daughter and I stayed here for three nights while seeing the Edinburgh sights. We reserved a twin, but they put us in a spacious family room on the main floor. Furnishings were clean but not at all new. We found it beautiful, but it is NOT a modern sterile chain hotel, if that's what you like. Staff was friendly and responsive. Breakfast was good. Easy walking distance to Haymarket train station, which is about a 5 minute train ride to the downtown Waverley station. We had rail passes, so this was no big deal (otherwise cab fare to downtown is about 5 pounds.) The neighborhood was OK in the daylight, but seemed a little sketchy at night. (99697565)

positive comments Beautiful large room with high ceilings and chandelier.
negative comments Could have been closer to tourist attractions.

Alberto from martellago, Italy;IT (Solo leisure traveller) 23 August 2006

credo che la qulità dell'albergo in rapporto al prezzo sia buona e anche la gestione da parte dello staff molto buona, ripeto da migliorare per elevare la qualità un pò la colazione magari mettendo la possibilità di assaggiare qulcosa di scozzese (3305050011)

positive comments un albergo comodo perchè posizionato vicino alla stazione di haymarket e con stanze carine ed adeguate
negative comments La colazione potrebbe essere un pò più sostanziosa visto il livello dell'albergo

positive comments Facile raggiungibilità del centro di Edinburgo
negative comments C'era un solo bagno per 5 persone, la colazione non era particolarmente abbondante, non c'era l'ascensore. L'hotel non è doatato di parcheggio convenzionato. Ci hanno chiesto una preautorizzazione per il pagamento tramite carta di credito all'arrivo. La stanza si trovava in un piano interrato.

positive comments Beautiful little hotel, clean, good location, quiet area
negative comments the shower's sliding door was broken, you had to go down a steep flight of stairs to get to my room with no elevator or help with the luggage

Room was in the basement with a window that opened to a noisy street. People that were passing by could wake you. I had ear plugs and that solved my problem. (3305068571)

negative comments Was not in the best of areas of town, a little off the beaten track and not in a good way.

I would have preffered to have known about the inadequate parking facilities. (3304902398)

positive comments It was fairly central.
negative comments Parking was terrible. Breakfast was an array of cheap looking meats. The staff struggled to understand English. Dog hairs on carpet not acceptable.

positive comments Big rooms, very traditional decor, helpful and friendly staff
negative comments The shower was broken. There we items under the bed (shoe, box of playing cards)left be previous occupants.

For this price I expected something more. The room was drab and the lights barely bright enough to read by. The room had no towels in it on the first night although they did put this right the next day (but not before I was already wet and looking for a towel!) Breakfast uninspiring and looked a bit dried out around the edges. The common areas of the hotel are nice and it's a quiet location so it's not all bad but next time I am in Edinburgh I wont be staying here. (3304468065)

positive comments Large room
negative comments Room was under lit and gloomy. Noisy water pipes at night time.
