Excellent location, next to Edinburgh Castle. It is a very old hotel with good facilities, a small swimming pool and sauna. A family of three checked in and the front desk gave us a family room with a separate small bed. The view outside the window is also good. There is a bathtub and capsule coffee. There is TESCO downstairs, which is very convenient for shopping. Such a good room, buy some beer and drink it in the room, it's really not too good ☺️ The breakfast on the first floor is very good 35 pounds per person. The main meal must be told to the waiter separately, which is included in the 35 pounds. This hotel has hosted members of the British royal family. There are photos in the restaurant on the first floor.
It takes 15 minutes to walk to Cardington Hill. You can see Edinburgh Castle all the way. The surrounding core scenic spots are 15 minutes walk, which is great!
A very satisfactory stay experience 👍👍👍

From a hotel of this level and price you expect more for breakfast. At least delicious coffee :) and a cup for toothbrushes in the bathroom would not hurt either.
By the way, about coffee - if you come at 8 am or later, then while you wait for the waiter with coffee you can sit - what prevents the hotel from installing a coffee machine so that I can serve myself is a mystery.
The location is excellent, everything is within walking distance.
The room is large, the height of the ceilings causes a wow effect :) the bed is beyond praise.
There is a gym, a swimming pool, a spa and even a yoga mat and scales in the room - I did not use any of the above :))
They ask for a deposit of 150 pounds upon check-in. You would think that they have crooks living here and I will run away without paying.
In general, considering the price, I would think twice - maybe there is cheaper nearby, but not much worse.
The restaurant across the road Kyole is simply brilliant! I recommend 👍 and a little further, but also a minute's walk away, a good shop of kilts and traditional clothes, not a souvenir shop like on the Royal Mile.
We went to the airport by bus number 100, very convenient, the bus stop is two minutes from the entrance to the hotel, the stop at the airport is right opposite the entrance, the price for two with luggage is 11 pounds, inside there is a place to put bags. We got there in 30 minutes. Everything is convenient and fast.

I booked 2 nights in total. The hotel arranged a room closest to the road. Trams, police cars, and motorcycles kept coming and going at night. I couldn't sleep all night. I communicated with the hotel but they said there were no rooms available (the platform clearly showed that there were 4 rooms available) and they refused to change the room. Their attitude was terrible! I contacted Ctrip and asked to cancel the reservation for the second night. Ctrip said they also got the room through another agent. I didn't communicate with the hotel directly and they didn't let me check out. I couldn't sleep again on the second night. Oh! I will never book a foreign hotel on Ctrip again.

The room is very beautiful. You can see the castle when you book the castle room. It is also very convenient to travel. The airport can be reached directly by bus or tram. The swimming pool and sauna are free. It is only a few steps to go to other places.

The price-performance ratio is not bad, but it is a bit old, but the service is top-notch! When those Edinburgh voco hotels are selling for 1700, I will not hesitate to spend 2100 to stay at the Waldorf Astoria. What kind of bicycle do you need for 2100? This is the Waldorf Astoria hahaha

To be honest, I was so angry this time. The room I booked was completely inconsistent with the room I was given. I changed the room twice. There were problems with the room. Either there was no hot water in the room or there was a problem with the faucet. The floor was very dirty and greased. This time I came to Waldorf Astoria. I am really dissatisfied and I can only be speechless with their front desk staff.

I often stay in this hotel. The last time I stayed there was in April this year. The service attitude was really bad when I stayed there before this time. The hotel has also changed to Hilton Hotel. It is not at the same level at all. I booked an executive superior king-size bed room, but they gave me the most ordinary room in the hotel. They said there was no room. You ask guests to book a room without a room. And I booked it online in advance. It cost more than 5,000 yuan a night. It was really a rip-off.

The location is first-class and very convenient, but the building is very old, the service is excellent, and the sanitation is good. The only drawback is that the sense of history is too heavy...

I booked a hotel to see Edinburgh Castle, but the room was on the E floor, which was very short. The streetlight pole happened to be in front of the window. Although I could face the castle, the view was very poor. The facilities are old and the faucets are splashing everywhere. Moreover, there are very few sockets, the heating is useless, and the wind blows coldly. The winter in Edinburgh is unbearable.
