Nice enough, the room wasn't as nice as the pictures made out but the lobby and the service was great. It's a good hotel, just not as fancy as I had expected. Street parking was possible right outside for a fee, and central Edinburgh was walkable

Lovely hotel but disappointing bathroom facilities

We loved everything about the hotel and our room apart from a faulty shower which was not repaired despite making a complaint. We had no choice but to have baths throughout our 3 day stay which was time consuming and inconvenient. We reported our issue and was told it had been dealt with. Even though the temperature tap was on cold (blue) only scalding hot water would come out through a half blocked hose. Also the bath enamel was scratched off around the plug hole which wasn’t pleasant either.
