Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
stay away
had to walk past the dirty laundry to get to my room. Room was tired, bed uncomfortable as mattress was solid and pillows too thin. Shower was cold water only (sorry about that was the reception response). Couldn't sit where I wanted for breakfast. I was stuck in the throughfare with my back to the rest of the room. Breakfast was 1 each of egg, bacon, sausage, haggis, tomato. Book elsewhere, I will never stay here again.

Pay for the better rooms.
Cheap rooms are awful. Attic with a tiny hole in the roof as a "window". Toilet was a sani flow and was so noisy and room was far too hot. I can imagine the better rooms are quite nice though.

Not a "Royal" standard...
Great location.. The room was quite dated & not to the "royal" standard of cleanliness.. It was ok, but I'd probably not go back.

Good hotel & restaurant in Merchiston
We stopped one night in a family room. Spacious, comfortable, clean. Big bathroom with powerful shower. Louvred window needed attention. Meals were served in the conservatory - breakfast was good and evening meal very good. Restaurant is worth a visit in its own right. Would stay again.

Fine for overnight
This hotel was fine for overnight as we attended a concert and went shopping. The reception area, hotel toilets, bar and conservatory restaurant were lovely and well looked after. The staff are friendly and helpful. service was great in the restaurant- we had breakfast and food was great and plentiful. The only problem was we booked a twin room which was even confirmed by reception on arrival but it was a very cramped double room with the smallest bathroom I've ever seen. My mum and I are petite and really struggled to move at all. Despite this it was very clean and the room did have everything we needed for an overnight stay.

Lovely room
We were upgraded to the James Suite which was lovely with plenty of room for my wife, daughter and myself. Reception staff were good as was the wautress at breakfast but I can't say the same for the afternoon bar staff who were just ( and only just) going through the motions to serve us.
