10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic value
Incredibly relaxing stay. Even though the hotel was fully booked, the public areas were calm and quiet. The room was more than adequate for our one night stay. Comfortable bed, everywhere was spotless and lovely Elemis toiletries in the bathroom. The shower was hot and powerful. Used the pool and sauna - small but quiet so perfectly adequate.

Great stay!
I just had a one night stay from a holiday in Shetland. Wanted to stay and get in some more exploring in Edinburgh that I didn’t get to in 2021. The staff were great. Held my bags for me since check in wasn’t until 3pm so I could do some aight seeing. Took my bags directly to my room when I arrived back. Room was wonderful! Had some Elemis products to use which is one of my favorite brand. Had the best nights sleep as well. Overall it was a great place and I really enjoyed the stay and highly recommend this place!

4/10 Fair

Disappointing
Not great! We stayed on a Saturday and were woken Sunday Morning 9AM to loud drilling and banging from work being carried out in the Hotel, No air conditioning in the room , No Fridge. There must be better hotels to stay in Edinburgh at the same price point.
