Horrible experience would avoid
I would never recommend this hotel, in terms of the hotel and breakfast I can say it was excellent what ruins our experience was finding that out the bedding in our room was full of dried blood and had not been changed once we brought it up with management they tried saying it was paint, once I showed it was blood they said they would investigate they then went on to gaslight os saying we must have caused the blood even though we showed the manager on the night we reported it that it couldn’t have come from us as we had no cuts on any of our legs. It’s absolutely disgusting to think that we slept the first night in sheets covered in someone else’s blood. We didn’t expect compensation as the rest of our experience was great. All we expected was an apology instead we got gas lot and blamed. Would totally avoid the place.

Nice room but expensive- the windows & sills- frames needed cleaning &
Neither of the mirror light nor heated towel rail worked- both reported but were not fixed but new towels issued as they were not drying

Great - would definitely consider staying again
Fantastic location, really friendly staff, comfortable bed and nice decor.
I had a voucher which meant this stay was particularly good value. I might have felt it was slightly expensive without the discount, but realise there is an element of paying for the location (which really is one of the best places to stay in Edinburgh in my experience).
Minor quibbles, the TV didn't work consistently (i'm sure staff would have tried to sort this if i'd have asked). And there was some quite bad water damage in the room presumably from a previous roof leak. It was a shame because in other respects the look and feel of the room was great!
Nice touch with free mini bar water/Iron Bru and snacks.
