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.

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.

Nice facility

Really nice grounds. The beer garden and bar area was alot of fun. The wait staff was excellent. The bad was the room. No windows but had a skylight. Front desk guy did not know how to close the blinds so we had light streaming in all night.

Zu teuer für das gebotene Zimmer

Als wir im Hotel ankamen, war die Begrüssung zwar ausreichend, aber hatte mit der schottischen Gastfreundlichkeit nichts zu tun. Das Hotel ist aus dem 19. Jahrhundert und besitzt keinen Aufzug. Wir hatten ein super kleines Dachzimmer (etwas grösser als eine Abstellkammer) im letzten Stock, wo man nur über mehrere enge und steile Treppen hinkam und mit zwei grossen Koffern war das natürlich sehr mühsam. Wir bekamen kein Hilfe vom Personal und mussten das Zimmer auch noch selbst suchen. Das Bett war für zwei Personen viel zu klein ( und zu kurz), das Bad minimalistisch. Es wurde nachträglich in den zweiten behaaren Schrank angebaut. Korpulente Personen wären darin wahrscheinlich stecken geblieben. Das Waschbecken war zerbrochen, es gäbe noch zwei altmodische Wasserhähne für Kalt und Warm. Das Zimmer kostete 130 EUR, ohne Frühstück.

Disappointing

Hotel a bit battered and in need of refurb in some of the rooms. I paid same rate as a double but got tiny single room with no bath. Walls scuffed and marked carpet old and worn. Bedding v clean and pleasant. Bathroom tiny, sink cracked, could all do with refurb. Overpriced in general.

City Break

The hotel was really nice and we really enjoyed our stay, however anytime we went to reception we had to wait a minimum of five minutes for someone to see to us. We also saw staff members lying in the middle of the hall outside our bedroom on their phones. Breakfast could also be bigger and on later.
