My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were amazing, so roomy, and the jacuzzi bath was out of this world. The view over the leafy communal gardens made it very pleasant, although the barking dog next door was a bit of a downside, understandable due to the hot weather. The location was perfect, within easy walking distance of all the main shops, bars, and restaurants, although some rooms had too much large furniture taking away some floor space.

The hotel exceeded my expectations with spacious and well-appointed rooms, although the bathroom wasn't as good as expected. The service was exceptional with incredibly polite and helpful staff. The location, although a bit far from the city center, offered a quiet retreat and easy access to Edinburgh. The dining experience was slightly delayed but reasonably priced.

My stay at this hotel was out of this world; I couldn't think of a bad word to say about it. The location was quietly away from the noise and hustle of the festival but within walking distance of town. The rooms were very large, with a kitchen area and living area, truly incredible, and excellent value, especially in the off-season when the rates are much better.

The hotel is in a gorgeous area of Edinburgh, within easy walking distance of all the main shops, bars, and restaurants. The rooms are truly incredible and offer excellent value, especially in the off-season when the rates are more favorable. However, some maintenance issues have been noticed over the years. The service is top-notch, with well-trained staff available round the clock, but there were lapses in identity verification during check-in. The location is superb, just a short stroll to Princes Street and other attractions, though it's situated in a quiet residential area. The dining experience was pleasant with mouth-watering offerings, though there were minor delays upon arrival. The facilities are excellent, including a cinema, Jacuzzi, and outdoor area, contributing to a luxurious stay.

The hotel is located in a quiet residential area just a few minutes walk from Princes Street. The rooms feel a little more rough around the edges in places, but overall great with a modern and clean design. The service was excellent, especially in dealing with grocery delivery and transfers. However, the dining options were limited and a bit pricey. The location is convenient, within walking distance to the top of George Street, but a 25-minute walk from the city center.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The apartment I stayed in had a nice view over leafy communal gardens, but unfortunately, I had to endure steam pouring into my unit from a dryer vent for hours each day. The location was excellent for exploring central Edinburgh, and the service was top-notch with thoughtful touches like a complimentary treat and birthday card. However, the noise from staff moving items in and out of storage areas right by my door was disruptive, and the dining options were limited. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel in the West End of Edinburgh was fantastic! The rooms were massive and beautifully decorated, featuring a cinema room and spa bath. It was a lovely touch to receive a card and macaroons for our 4th anniversary. The view over the leafy communal gardens was very pleasant, although there was some disturbance from a barking dog next door due to the hot weather. However, this wouldn't deter me from visiting again during a quieter time. The location was great, with easy access to top attractions like George Street and Princes Street.
