The hotel is close enough to easily walk to local attractions, but located in a quiet area and very convenient to Waverley train station.
Hotel staff were helpful, considerate, and friendly.
The rooms were clean, bed comfortable, and amenities well appointed.
We enjoyed our three nights stay at this beautiful hotel that is well situated just off the Royal mile and within walking distance to all the attractions in Edinburgh.
We really enjoyed our stay
They had whatever was required for us
We enjoyed the breakfast and evening swim in the swimming pool
Our bed was comfortable
The room was of the right size, though the descriptions between Expedia and Bonvoy can be confusing Deluxe vs. Standard, this can create expectations and lead to disappointment. After a rocky start the hotel staff made our stay very enjoyable. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a lot of choices including certain courses to be ordered. The location is at one end of the Royal Mile next door to the Scottish Parliament and Holyrood Palace. A stop to the Hop on Hop off bus is also next door.
What a wonderful way to start our first trip to Edinburgh! Clean room, excellent food, extraordinary staff, and a good night's rest. The food was supreme as we enjoyed several meals at the hotel. The variety and bar selections were fantastic. The HUGE gym was a superb way to start the day even though we conveniently walked everywhere --- Royal Mile, Castle, GrassMarket, City Center...very convenient to the city's attractions!
Amazing stay, breakfast was great, pool was clean and a good size, the room was comfy and the maid was attentive and helpful. Would definitely come back!
