GGuest UserTook 15 mins to book in could not find my details. Booked a kingsize superior room and got two single beds put together as my bed. Was not comfortable. There was a water tank beside my room that kept dripping my full duration of my break. Would not be going back to the hotel
YYunduanderizi21A very traditional, elegant, ancient and solemn hotel, the overall feeling is very good!
The location is very convenient. After exiting the Waverley train station, you can reach the hotel in less than 5 minutes on foot. The entrance is very eye-catching. It's just a big uphill walk, and it will be a bit strenuous if you push a large piece of luggage. It only takes 20 minutes to walk from the hotel to the castle.
The hotel lobby is very traditional, and the characteristic bonfire hall seems to have entered Santa Claus's home. The lady at the front desk is very enthusiastic and introduced the various facilities in the room in detail. Because Scotland is still quite cold, I didn't feel it when I turned on the heating in the room to the maximum. In the morning, a traditional English breakfast on the first floor of the hotel is absolutely amazing. There is a western restaurant with candlelight dinner next to the hotel, where you can enjoy a sweet world for two! 😍😍
GGuest UserStaff were lovely, polite and very helpful.
Room was beautiful although a little noisy but that's expected.
Continental breakfast optional and staff don't rush you.
GGuest UserLocation is very convenient, walk about 5 mins to train station. Many shop nearly hotel, highly recommend. The room is clean & quiet, but the bed is double size.
GGuest UserThis hotel is amazing! As you can see from the photo, the view was beautiful!!! Also, I can't forget how fluffy their pillows were, haha. I'm excited to book a room at this hotel this summer.
GGuest UserGreat location next door to the zoo. Ten minutes walk to local amenities and several buses directly to the city centre. Lovely bar/restaurant with pool table etc for kids, also lovely views. Lovely sunrise if your room is east facing. Very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming staff.
EEsraThe building was good and the view was great; it was the best part of staying this hotel. Unfortunately room service was so bad. We stayed there 4nights; first we thought maybe they just hovered the room because the room wasn’t cleaned. Next day it was same so I told it to reception and then finally next day they cleaned it.. but again it wasn’t a full cleaning (they didn’t hover or clean the dust; just tidy the room and clean bathroom) So I can say room cleaning service is a disaster. But I also want to add reception stuff were helpful and friendly. Last thing hotel needs a quick make up; especially bathrooms are very old.
YyhoboThe hotel is an apartment hotel, with staff on duty. You can pick up the daily necessities in the room by yourself. The kitchen equipment is easy to use, the room layout is reasonable, and it is relatively comfortable.
The hotel is located in the New Town, in a residential area, close to Princes Street and within walking distance. It can also be reached by walking to the Old Town Castle. There are restaurants and supermarkets nearby, which is quite convenient.
Eeman2122I believe there are short staff... Check in and check out time is really Short (stay over in the room) You can check in after 3pm and check out before 11am.. room smelly maybe from the carpet. Toilet slightly dirty. Breakfast needs to add additional cost if you want or you can take their packages. Whatever it is, this is your call and you choose it. Don't compare too much. I hope management will do something for a better guest experience. Keep it up.
GGuest UserThe room was much better than expected, clean and comfortable. Self-service check-in and check-out were quick and convenient. If you don't know how to use it, you can call and ask for patient guidance. If you don't know how to use the access control, you can ask the staff. The location is far from the city center and various attractions, about 30 minutes walk, but you can take the bus.
In summary, it is still a good choice. After all, hotels in Edinburgh are crazy expensive. I will stay in this hotel again.
