Centrally located very handy for rail and bus connections, shops etc. not far from castle and as we were attending the tatoo, it was ideal walking distance. good pubs near by.

I have one unfortunate
experience. I left a pair of
trousers in room 650 in the trouser press. I have had great difficulty in speaking
to the right person and now it appears that the trousers
may have disappeared. I have been told to expect a call today.

Reading the web site 'user ratings' for this hotel we almost booked somewhere else -but we decided to give it a shot! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room fine, well kitted out, spotless and a decent size. (Had asked for a higher level room in case of street noise - didn't hear a thing). Brilliant, full scottish, 'pig yourself out' buffet breakfast. Staff everywhere courteous, friendly and helpful. NB. Big tip for visitors. When you go up to staff at the reception or elsewhere, approach them with a nice smile and a warm friendly greeting and you will get exactly the same back. They are human - just like you think you are. If you are cold, aggressive, prickly, overly demanding ..... ???

Recommended to the 'top notch' restaurant called 'The Witchery'. Forget it: Lovely, interesting place, BUT terrible service, very poor food and, of course, very pricey!!

The reception area was clean, and had 2 reception staff who seemed to be too busy to deal with us on arrival and we had to wait whilst being ignored. When the receptionist finally spoke he was friendly and efficient. The rooms require updating, with paint work being shabby. The shower was a trickle and the shower curtain pole was rusty, other than that the room was clean. The hairdryer supplied had as much power as the shower...so even if you do manage to get your hair wet you may not be able to get it dry. A great central location though with a 5 minute walk to play house and shopping centres as well as Princess Street. I would recommend the hotel due to location, the hotel could better if it was updated.

very disappointed that we did not get to stay at the hotel although we booked(party of 7) a month in advance through you!! We were sent out of town and it wasn't very convenient! We would certainly not recommend your site or the hotel as it was a let down for most of the people in the group!!
