The hotel was undergoing a major renovation, and while they informed us about this after we booked it, the inconvenience was greater than expected. They offered a discount upon our expressing our issues, which they later denied and I have yet to receive.

Unhelpful staff when checking in and wanted to change room due to overpowering smell of bleach Should have acknowledged issue straight away and given us ano room rather than try to make a point that they can eradicate smell and then sort room out for next guest Then we were kept waiting 20mins and then given ano room - happy at that - good room but should have happened immediately Appreciate renovations going on but good customer service must not be affected and should do better

Hotel was under construction and our sink backed up on night one. We were moved to a new room but AC kept making buzzing sound. Was told laundry service via third party was available but it was not only dry cleaning. Asked staff members about this and they were unaware of services and cost. Olivia demonstrated professionalism and did her best to redeem the situation for us.

6/10

The Hotel is under going refurbishments until June.This meant the reception,bar/lounge,breakfast areas were all unavailable. This was not communicated at the time of our booking and I would not have booked if I knew this. THe hotel did offer a garb and go breakfast which meant guests had to bring to their rooms to eat. This meant lots of people balancing trays in the lift.THe room where the breakfast was being served was small and when it was busy it was hard to move in their. It would have been better if the hotel offered cheaper rates and no breakfast.As it was we were paying €670 euro for two nights in a family room.

2-night trip

8/10

Very pleasant hotel with kind and friendly service staff as well as some nice facilities. It is located basically inside the Edinburgh University campus, which we really liked and close to the old town of Edinburgh. Only downside was the breakfast buffet situation where there was not enough seats for everyone - regardless of which time slot you went down for breakfast. It is supposed to be a good and relaxing start to your day, but it ended up being quite a nuisance instead. Otherwise all good.

As the bathroom door is set back the light disturbs the person in the bed nearest the bathroom (brightness woke me up). Television was difficult to watch from both bed & settee. Was very disappointed with room for the cost. Although breakfast was good with plenty of choice.

3-night trip

8/10

Nice room and comfy bed. Free breakfast buffet was good quality with plenty of choices, but like a cattle drive. Rude people pushing in front of you and little kids running around unattended touching the food, cutlery, etc. We felt it was a bit unsanitary. It’s amazing how parents have no control over their spawn.
