Hotel is in a very nice a quiet area of Edinburgh, although super central to everything.
The room was lovely and big. Shower bit small. Lots of tea and coffee supplied.
Yes those stairs lol will be requesting a lower floor next time I stay.
Didn’t get down for breakfast as it was between 8-9 and I feel that’s was tooo early.
Staff I met were very nice and helpful too!
-Good location. Very easy to park. Free at weekends.
-Hotel advert states continental breakfast and award winning chef. Breakfast was woeful and required no cooking. Not sure why award winning chef advertised.
-See photo attached. Room freezing and heater not safe. Plug red hot to touch.
-Beds broken and very uncomfortable to sleep on.
-Staff did not wear masks. Social distancing not adhered to.
First got there hour early but was told on phone by a woman we could leave bags and go back. Man at door said well you cant come in yet we still doing rooms! I said i know we were told we could leave bags. Didnt introduce himself still dont know his name. Small man but i felt quite abrubt. When we finally checked in, the room looked lovely what you would need beds, kettle, shower,but on inspection wow just wow.the dust in room was horrendous. All skirting boards were full of dust,must not of been dusted for months and months. I have asthma and my chest was bad straight away. I could feel dust settling on my face. We could not leave drinks either as the dust would settle on top of drink it was discusting. It is a shame as the place and building was lovely just needed a good deep clean.. i did mention it to a man with a walking stick and he said aw ok.the tissue in photo was of a small area on skirting board..the room was large room so you can imagine the dust/dirt i would of cleaned. I emailed patricia i think the name was on email but had no response at all. So writing this reveiw..We paid ALOT of money for us to just want to be back home where it was clean. With covid going on you would think the rooms had a deep clean etc as it states on website. Its false advertising as the sheets were only pulled back and that was it. No hoover nothing.Im afraid i would not reccomended this hotel. I had to take inhaler so many times.. the window we couldnt open either. So dissapointed!

Dissapointed.
We were in room 10 at the top of the hotel lucikly we were fit enough to carry our bags up. It was clean and well decorated but it really needs upgraded...no TV and three single beds.
We couldn't believe that they couldn't be bothered to install a tv but had two old 1970's intercoms with radio's that didn't even work but were still live. The shutter over one window was badly split snd ready to fall off. This is just laziness and doing the minimum they can get away with.
With loads of hotels to choose from i would pick somewhere else next time.
Stay for one night. Lovely Contenetal breakfast lovely laid tables. Only down fall no lift if carrying heavy luggage up stairs and drains in our room was stinking. Everything we needed was there including hairdryer cosy blankets.
