8/10 Very good

The staff were super service oriented, very informative and friendly. Hotel lobby and common areas were very stylish and comfortable. Great location in Charlotte Square area. Great hotel restaurant and also nearby restaurants. Room was comfortable but we did not like the location of the room on the back side of hotel and the common areas leading to our room were not appealing and hallway outside our room had housekeeping supplies stationed there at all times.

Stunning hotel, inside & out. Very attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Very comfortable room. Great location for shopping, restaurants, sights in Edinburgh & public transport. Easy walking distance too. Sadly, slept badly the 2nd night due to noise from public, in the street, until 03.30. Staff at the hotel were very apologetic but obviously it’s not their fault. We would recommend this hotel to others.

Nice property, staff very welcoming and efficient. Very helpful and accommodating with our couple of requests (extra pilllows, need for a converter). Bathroom is nice with plenty of room. Appreciated the snacks and water available in our room. Bed was comfortable and bedding nice. Enjoyed a meal at Baba, service and food was great. Enjoyed our stay.

6/10 Good

Still undecided
This is an older hotel so part of the charm experience is just knowing it’s older. If you have allergies or if old-building scents bother you, take this into consideration. Staff are exceptionally friendly which is a win but for the cost, I expected more from the overall experience. Bed was super comfortable, wifi was great and the area was very safe.

Great New Town Hotel
I would definitely stay at this hotel again. Visited Edinburgh for the first time, and found the location perfect. Situated in New Town (early 1700s - Georgian) and housed along a beautiful historic streetscape - it is perfect for shopping along Princes Street, walkable to Waverly Station. Majestic view of Edinburgh castle at the end of the street. Very close to pick up for Hop on Hop off buses. I stayed in a single room, small but definitely enough space, clean, great bathroom - and yoga mat! Added the breakfast - food was great - try the Haggis! Enjoy the bacon!! .The one confusing thing about this hotel (esp at breakfast time) is the coffee .. which is needlessly bad. So easy to install a nespresso machine.or other automatic machine that would make great coffee and completely level up the experience for coffee drinkers. But I do not want to complain about this hotel - Free drinks from 5 pm to 6 pm everyday ,,, lovely decor, great location, clean. We didn't have time to explore everything - the spa amenities for example.
