OK for cheap deal but not 4*
We got this hotel cheap through a travel site with my flight to Edinburgh. It was in a great location, the bed was comfy, there was no unwanted noise, it was clean. But I was looking forward to staying in a posh hotel, and it didn't feel like that. I guess this is fair enough since we had a deal. Maybe they sell off the older rooms at a discount rate through sites like the one I used. If I had paid full whack I'd have been really disappointed. The shower intermittently scalded and froze us so the hotel moved us to another room of the same standard. Our kettle didn't work and reception arranged for it to be replaced. Our room had no minibar, no pay-per-view films, no bottled water (although we did see this on the maid's trolly, so perhaps guests paying full price do get this), and was a bit tired looking - particularly the bathroom, which since we were in a disabled room (not requested) had the sink at a very low level. Also you had to pay extra for wi-fi at pretty extortionate rates. I would say this should be free to use in a 4* hotel. The shower in the second room was no great shakes either. Also the lift kept breaking down and we were on the fourth floor. Despite all this, it was in a handy location at a good price. Fair's fair.

Dining tip:
Short walk from hotel
A Room in the Town. Great unpretentious Scottish bistro on Howe St nearby. We went for a very reasonably priced set lunch. Lovely food, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Also a nice coffee shop over the road from this restaurant. We didn't eat but menu looked great and coffee was the best I've had in ages.

Great for a hen weekend
Location perfect for hen parties (although not full of hens, actually didn't see another one while there!) - perfectly located to nightlife and shopping!! Downside --- shower is not great, temp gauge not working very well... Cheap when compared to hotels on George Street despite being located at the top of the street (side entrance actually on George St). Stayed in another hotel (more expensive) previously and this one was much, much better :-)

Nightlife tip:
Short walk from hotel
Just off George Street, ideal for high end shopping and watering holes and a short walk from Princes St so it's all on your door step! Taxi to Grassmarket cheap (less than £9 for a taxi of 5), although hard to get end of night - so WALK!

Great Location
Great location, lovely Hotel. The rooms were very clean. The only downfall with the hotel was the fact that there were Christmas parties on in the hotel on the saturday night and we could hear the music/disco. would be better to put guests not going to parties in rooms furthest away from functions rooms.

Great value, great location
We stayed in this hotel for almost a week during a trip to Ediburgh for a wedding. It was within walking distance of the sites we wanted to see and many restaurants. The room was spacious, the bed very comfortable, and the price was very reasonable. The only improvements I would suggest are brighter reading lamps on the bedside tables and drawers (not just a closet) for clothes. I would happily stay in this hotel again.

Perfect for weekend break
Central to all the sites in Edinburgh this hotel is perfect for a weekend break as no car is required. Staff were generally helpful and friendly. The room was a good size and very comfortable without the frills.

Quality
An exceptional experience on my first visit to Edinburgh in 40 years. I would unreservedly recommend to anyone who sets store by quality and attentiveness from the moment one steps out of the taxi.
