We had one of the old rooms and it was very charming and had a lovely view of Edinburgh Castle. The breakfast was excellent. The dining room is stellar. I'm kind of sad that they are re-modeling. My traveling companions had a "new" room and it doesn't have the charm of the old one.

Beds were great and so comfy. Hotel was clean and breakfast was good. Be prepared to climb and flight of stairs with your luggage as reception is on the first floor (as is the lift). Overall would stay again.

The hotel is ideally situated opposite Waverley train station. The room was clean, comfortable and well decorated. There are lots of stairs and the lift was broken. The receptionist did carry our bag up. Breakfast was not included, and we were asked to pay on arrival at the restaurant. It was a buffet and was ok. When the lift was broken there was no signage, but we were told by the receptionist. On leaving the hotel later that evening people came down in the lift, but were blocked by a chair from exiting when the door opened. A member of staff told them it was broken and they shouldn’t have got in. There was no signage.

The location of this hotel is fantastic! Right by the train and bus station, near trams and bus stops. There is a Marks & Spencers really close by too. My room had the most amazing view of Scott Monument which I loved! The breakfast was decent. I have celiac disease and they offer GF toast and cereal (I'm also allergic to eggs so generally breakfast sucks for me anyways). The elevator is teeny tiny which made me laugh. I would stay at this hotel again but I would stay in a bigger room. I'm 5'9 and my bed was a bit short and small for me. Overall highly highly recommend this hotel!

This is definitely an older hotel. Our room was large and the bathroom was well equipped with a shower bathtub that was huge. What sets this hotel apart is the great location. Walking distance to everything, including the royal mile, the train station and lovely park. I wish they had an ice machine so we didn't have to bug the bartender. Breakfast had real eggs to order. Yeah!!

A classic hotel. Excellent location. The main sites were within walking distance. The airport bus left from just across the hotel. The room was nice and spacious.

The noise from the water in the bathroom above was intrusive. Shower, sink or toilet, the sound of the water coming down the pipes made it sound like it was in the room. Difficult to get to sleep and woke us up when we were asleep.

We stayed in here for 3 nights, we arrived at 11 and expected to drop our bags off at the hotel and come back when our room was ready, but our was ready and could check in and go straight to our room, which was great and so unexpected. The hotel is very central to everything, with views to the front, we had a view to the side which unfortunately had building works going on, and will be for some time, but it didn't detract from our stay. Breakfast was good, everything you would need to start your day of exploring. Staff were very attentive, we popped into the lounge where they serve afternoon tea, that looked amazing but we only wanted tea/coffee and a scone before we caught our train home and they supplied it, the best scones I've tasted in a long while. Our room was refreshed every day, clean towels, bins emptied, bed made, the only thing I would say about the bathroom is that I had difficulty getting in and out the bath for a shower as I am short and the bath was high, be extra careful if your short or not as mobile as others. This hotel is not suitable for the disabled as it has steps and stairs to navigate before you reach the reception after that there is a lift. We had a great stay in this hotel, full of character and charm right in the middle of Edinburgh city, you couldn't wish for anything more, I hope one day we will return.

The location and the layout of the room was exceptionally more than what was expected. Chose the location based on location from the station given times of arrival and departure and this was perfectually situated! In terms of potential things to keep in mind 1) there is an actual physical key, massive and slightly worrying to have to carry around while exploring the city; 2) the staff is incredibly friendly, but not always engaging and some language barriers which were surprising given the location; 3) it is very central which is amazing most of the time, but when warm and a weekend, the noise from the street below was quite interruptive to sleep. Though that same point was surprising when not a weekend, amazingly quiet and comfortable.

Hotel was in a superb location - just opposite the train station and so within walking distance of all attractions. Hotel is old, but the bed was comfortable and there was a bath/shower. The breakfast was brilliant and had everything you needed. Would definitely recommend.
