Acceptable stay.
excellent location friendly staff champagne lounge other lounge
The hotel's location is excellent. It sits right at the heart of the city. The staff were attentive and very friendly. The room was also super clean and well-stocked with amenities.
The emphasis on the champagne lounge was a problem. Off-site customers could book it. Hotel occupants who did not pre-book were not allowed in. There was no other lounge available for hotel guests to relax in.

Fantastic Stay!
central location friendly staff complimentary minibar
I found the staff friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location is very central, made exploring easy (Waverley train station is across the street!). I really appreciated the complimentary mini bar. It had lovely Scottish treats.
The shower design allowed some water to escape onto the floor, a minor inconvenience.

small room unpleasant staff
The room was quite small, i must say. i nearly tripped over my suitcase trying to navigate the limited space and the restaurant staff seems to have skipped charm school. A smile wouldn't hurt anyone. i thought the hotel was overpriced given its size and lack of facilities, i expected more for the money i spent. the minibar was nice, but it didn't fully compensate for the other shortcomings, especially the bathroom size.
