Great location but a wee bit tired now.

Check in was great, room 203 was looking onto a building and the room and bathroom was very tired but clean. Staff were excellent and friendly, breakfast was great and lots of choice.

Excellent hotel with two on-site restaurants, easy access to the tram and bus routes, great staff, and an overall solid value for the money as spent. No need to be in the heart of the Royal Mile when you can stay here. I’d book again.

When I booked the suite room, it was for 3 people (2 adults 1 child). When we got to the room, there was a double bed and nowhere else set up to sleep. When I raised this with reception they said they could set up the sofa as a bed, which I agreed to and this was to be done when we were out for dinner. When we came back, I wanted to put my 5 year old straight to bed, but no one had been in our room to set this up. I then had to go down to reception 2 more times to ask them to set up the bed, which they eventually did, but it was about an hour after we had arrived back from dinner. I would have appreciated everything would have been ready for when we arrived at the room considering I booked it for 3 people
