The location of the hotel is unrivalled. Literally step out the train station and you're there. The Front Desk staff were incredibly helpful. We were a little early arriving so they kindly looked after our luggage for us. When we returned they remembered our names, checked us in and our luggage was already safely in our room. We had also received a complimentary upgrade. The room was incredible, spotless and cosy. We also ordered room service breakfast for the next day which had a huge range of options, arrived bang on the time requested and was delicious! Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again.

Gorgeous room, very spacious. Lovely staff - friendly and helpful. Nice touches like a welcome drink in the room. Gym was small but very nice and well equipped for a quick workout. Great location. The Grand café restaurant and the cinema were fab too - discount for hotel guests made a big difference too

Fabulous stay! Friendly staff, easy check in, room was amazing with fantastic city views, great location, very well equipped and super clean. I mentioned it was my partner’s birthday and was pleasantly surprised with the complimentary bottle of Prosecco and a birthday wish on arrival. Can’t wait to stay again! Got to be one of my favourite ever hotel stays.

Arriving by car is a no no. There’s nowhere to stop at all. Internally, it was very noisy all night with loud footsteps, doors banging and kitchen starting service early and people using service entrance. I was on floor 2 In room furniture was very worn and covered in stains, which is pretty disgusting for the price.

The room was spotless and inviting. The bed was very comfortable. I honestly could find no fault. We had lunch in the Grand restaurant and the French onion soup is to die for. I am disabled and travel with a mobility scooter. There was a young man, I believe his name is Oliver. He was such a delight and very helpful. He helped us with getting an uber and event assisted us on our walk to the car. He smiled and was just lovely. Also, I cannot remember her name, but there was a lovely Irish lass who walked with me to the elevator and outside to get my train. Just an absolutely delightful stay. Really enjoyed the Regency experience also.

The carpets in the room are looking a bit grubby. There was a young blonde waitress in the breakfast room that looked like she had just woken up, not brushed her hair and her white shirt looked like she had slept in it, it was so creased and tatty. She also has a bad work ethic standing at the toaster to keep warm and not lifting dish!!

We stayed for a short break to celebrate my daughters birthday and first time visit to Edinburgh. The staff were welcoming and helpful but when we entered our room the smell of sewage coming from the bathroom was awful! We called reception and were told they'd send someone up straight away. After 20+ minutes no one had arrived so we had to speak to reception again on our way out for the afternoon. Nice touch of a bottle of Prosecco in our room, but overall the room was a bit unkept, stains on the carpet, curtain and lampshade and dust on the panelling. Tea/coffee wasn't replenished and had to call reception for fresh milk. We didn't use all of the amenities although we did stop for a cocktail in the Grand Cafe, sadly these were small and extremely overpriced, one glass even had a huge block of ice in it and barely any drink! Disappointingly breakfast was served in what seemed to be a converted meeting room, not a restaurant or the like. Even though the hotel was beautiful, staff helpful and was convenient and centrally located, I doubt we'd stay again
