8/10 Very good

not as bad as the reviews make out

I picked this hotel due to its proximity to my office.
I have to say I was put off by the bad reviews. But I thought I’d give it a try. It was surprisingly ok.
Good points - friendly enough staff, bed was comfortable, room was airy, breakfast was decent and plentiful.
Bad points - pillows were not great, breakfast area pretty rammed in the morning and chaotic, room decent but a little tired in places.
Overall I would stay again, as its pretty decent and a good base for a few days.

Frustrating experience

The hotel was undergoing a major renovation, and while they informed us about this after we booked it, the inconvenience was greater than expected. They offered a discount upon our expressing our issues, which they later denied and I have yet to receive.

School Report

Unhelpful staff when checking in and wanted to change room due to overpowering smell of bleach Should have acknowledged issue straight away and given us ano room rather than try to make a point that they can eradicate smell and then sort room out for next guest Then we were kept waiting 20mins and then given ano room - happy at that - good room but should have happened immediately Appreciate renovations going on but good customer service must not be affected and should do better

I love the location in the middle of Edinburgh hotel.
Maria Eugenia, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel was under construction and our sink backed up on night one. We were moved to a new room but AC kept making buzzing sound. Was told laundry service via third party was available but it was not only dry cleaning. Asked staff members about this and they were unaware of services and cost. Olivia demonstrated professionalism and did her best to redeem the situation for us.

Eveline, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location, nice room and pleasant service

Very pleasant hotel with kind and friendly service staff as well as some nice facilities. It is located basically inside the Edinburgh University campus, which we really liked and close to the old town of Edinburgh. Only downside was the breakfast buffet situation where there was not enough seats for everyone - regardless of which time slot you went down for breakfast. It is supposed to be a good and relaxing start to your day, but it ended up being quite a nuisance instead. Otherwise all good.
Nicolai, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The Hotel is under going refurbishments until June.This meant the reception,bar/lounge,breakfast areas were all unavailable. This was not communicated at the time of our booking and I would not have booked if I knew this. THe hotel did offer a garb and go breakfast which meant guests had to bring to their rooms to eat. This meant lots of people balancing trays in the lift.THe room where the breakfast was being served was small and when it was busy it was hard to move in their. It would have been better if the hotel offered cheaper rates and no breakfast.As it was we were paying €670 euro for two nights in a family room.
Dave, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

As the bathroom door is set back the light disturbs the person in the bed nearest the bathroom (brightness woke me up). Television was difficult to watch from both bed & settee. Was very disappointed with room for the cost. Although breakfast was good with plenty of choice.
