I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped like a small apartment but lacked the promised Landmark view. The service was exceptional, with friendly and informative staff, though they couldn't provide fans on a hot day. The location was convenient for exploring central Edinburgh but was noisy and busy at all times. The dining experience was decent but a bit slow, offering high-quality local products. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks.

I found the hotel to be a wonderful stay overall. The rooms were impeccably clean and well-equipped, with a great view of the castle. The two-story layout, while charming, was a bit inconvenient with a dog. The service was top-notch, with professional and friendly staff throughout our stay. The location was superb, just a minute away from Princess Street and close to various dining options and supermarkets. The dining experience was divine, particularly at The Register for breakfast. The facilities exceeded expectations, making for a very enjoyable stay.

My stay at the hotel was just perfect. The rooms had everything I needed and were spacious, definitely recommending this hotel. The decor was lovely, facilities great, bed super comfortable, and the shower was the best I've ever experienced. However, there was some noise from the bottle bank being emptied at 6 am and the rumbling of the tram. Luckily, I was informed in the morning that quieter rooms were available at the rear of the building for next time. The room even had a mezzanine level with a second bed, which was a nice touch.
