The hotel itself was standard and the room we had was clean. The staff were pleasant. The breakfast included was a decent spread of hot and cold options. Limited space for dining, so try and get there early to beat the rush. I chose this hotel because it seemed to be roughly 15-20 minutes walking from the major attractions. It is, but Edinburgh is a city on a hill. This hotel seemed uphill from the palace, but downhill from the majority of the Royal Mile and the castle. It's not that bad, and we had small children, but something to consider for your travel plans. (Start uphill and work your way down.). We were pleased to have stayed here and would consider it again if we revisit.

Right in the middle of the city, very convenient to sightseeing and limited dining. Toilet didn’t flush properly. A lot of water and not much flushing. The carpet was filthy. It was not enough space for four people. Uncomfortable couch bed. Next to no storage. Decent breakfast buffet. Bar open late and reasonable prices. Air conditioning and fan were very poor. Staff was very helpful and accommodating.

The room is fine. The bathroom is very small for a family room. At check-in we paid for hotel parking, but they didn't give us the code for the lot. We had to drive around again to be able to get in to the hotel. The manager was snippy with his colleague who was helping me. A man dropped off an item for an employee; the manager didn't know the name and became very terse with the man when he learned the employee was a cleaner. Lots of little inconveniences and disappointments.
