Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were happy with the hotel's convenient location near Waverley Station. We were checked in quickly and efficiently. Our family room for 3 adults was very small. There was very little space for luggage or for bathroom towels. The beds are small. The temperature was hot and the thermostat didn't work. Instead of fixing it, we had to keep calling the desk to reset the AC and the fan. Very inconvenient, especially when they don't answer calls after 11 Leo's Restaurant was excellent with a great breakfast each day of our 5 day stay. We really were made to feel like valued guests by Kym in the restaurant. She was welcoming, informative and attentive to our needs. A real delight The Concierge Steve was also most helpful to us. This is a solid hotel.

We had booked a family room for 2 adults with a 16 y old son for 10 days. Let’s start with the positive part: The Hotel was very central and good placed between old and new Edinburgh. The breakfast was also very good and the employees have been very kind and friendly. But: Our family room was extremely small: We had hardly any storage space in the wardrobe and bathroom (both without drawers and designed for one person or at a maximum 2 people). So, for the entire 10 days, we were forced to live out of our suitcases as there was no other area to place our clothes . The double bed was also too small, about 1.25 meters wide. We had only one chair for the three of us, and the windows couldn't even be tilted to provide some fresh air in the room. The room had dust in many places and clearly hadn't been thoroughly cleaned for months. During our 10-day stay, not even once was it vacuumed (so we has dust bunnies accumulating ). The shower was not cleaned during our stay either. Bedsheets and some towels had often yellow stains. Also our used dishes where not cleaned or replaced during several days. A very poor experience at €350 per night… We will not book again at this hotel.

A fantastic hotel, really clean and a brilliant location, up a few steps at the back of hotel is the Royal Mile, in front of hotel is Waverley station and a few mins over the bridge takes you to Princes Street. The breakfast had a great selection, great start to the day. The staff at the hotel are so friendly and helpful especially Kym, Guest Relations at breakfast, she was such a lovely lady, loads of knowledge and ideas of what to do in Edinburgh. We will definitely be back.

The staff at the hotel were all very friendly but one person in particular was outstanding. Her name was Kym who filled the role of guest relations. Our visit to this hotel was to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and Kym made it really special, giving us advice about local transport and all the various places if interest. She was in the dining room every day and would always make time to speak to us. By the end of our stay she felt more like a good friend than just a member if staff.

Perfect location only 4 minutes walk from Edinburgh's Waverly Train Station - which was my initial reason for choosing it. However it was also perfectly situated to walk to the old town, the Royal mile and the rest of the city. Our room was very nice with views over the city. We didn't eat in the hotel at all as we preferred to explore the dining scene of Edinburgh (and there are soooo many great cafes and little spots to eat at that we were spoiled for choice.) I would definitely stay there again when visiting Edinburgh.
