Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were extremely small, even smaller than expected, and lacked proper restaurant dining options. However, the staff's service was amazing and very friendly. The location was perfect, offering great views and convenient access to the city. The dining experience was good, albeit with limited options. The facilities were lacking in some important amenities.
The hotel is in the heart of the city near all major attractions, with spotless rooms and excellent service. However, the dining options were a bit underwhelming. A great value for the prime location.
The hotel is centrally located near Waverley Station, making it perfect for exploring the Old Town. However, the rooms are surprisingly small with limited space and no proper restaurant available. The breakfast is a bit disappointing with soggy items, though the scrambled eggs are enjoyable. The service is friendly and welcoming, offering additional services like laundry and luggage assistance.
The hotel exceeded our expectations with superbly furnished, comfortable rooms, despite a dismal view of a brick wall. The friendly and helpful service, alongside a perfect location in the heart of everything, made our stay memorable. The incredible dining experience was a highlight, although slightly pricey.
The hotel offers some nice amenities like GHD hair straighteners, a Dyson hair dryer, and delicious snacks, but the rooms are extremely small, even smaller than a typical lodge room. The lack of a proper restaurant was disappointing, with only small plates available. Breakfast had some hits and misses, with soggy black pudding and hash browns but nice scrambled eggs. The service was a mixed bag, with friendly staff but some issues like a leaking shower and lack of fixes. The location is a winner, conveniently close to the train station and major city attractions.
My stay at the hotel was amazing! The rooms were lovely and very modern, with thoughtful touches like complementary drinks. It was quiet, spotlessly clean, and incredibly cozy. The service was top-notch, with staff being helpful, courteous, and even offering champagne for breakfast. The hotel's location was perfect, right in front of the train station and close to all the pubs and restaurants. The dining experience was exceptional, although a bit on the pricey side given the limited breakfast choices. Overall, a fantastic stay worth every penny.
My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were done to an excellent standard, spacious, and equipped with high-quality facilities, making them feel like mini self-contained artistic apartments. However, the room was only serviced once during my three-day stay, and the breakfast experience was underwhelming with soggy black pudding and hash browns. On the upside, the scrambled eggs were nice, but the lack of basic condiments was noticeable.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were stylish and well-equipped, although mine had a small window facing an internal wall, making it a bit dim. The service was generally friendly and helpful, especially Luca at the reception. The location was incredibly convenient, right near Waverley station, allowing easy access to all areas in the city center. The dining experience had its flaws, with some items like the black pudding and hash browns not meeting expectations. Overall, a good value for a stay in Edinburgh.
The hotel's location is excellent-next to Waverley Station-making it super convenient for exploring the city. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to assist. However, the dining experience fell short due to limited breakfast options. The rooms were cozy and clean, though the lack of in-room coffee or tea facilities was a downside.
