The hotel is only 10 minutes walk from Edinburgh Waverly rail station. Very professional service. Stayed there on two consecutive weekends for a night each. Absolutely no problems. |

A lot of partying in the hotel and the door next to our room was slamming all night. Did not at all get a good night's sleep. |

Location excellent, room ok. Breakfast in both selection and setup - terrible. Long queues that bottleneck due to very poor layout and poor 'continental' selection - not even any hams etc. Coffee machines, drinks in the middle of the breakfast queue so you better no want to go back for a juice etc. |
