Mom's 85th birthday!
We were so happy at this hotel and in fact tried to get 3 more nights there and couldn't because it was full. Our rooms were comfortable, the food was better than 2 other place in the city that we tried, and the location was perfect. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, anytime!

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
Buy the 3-day tour bus pass..it included our entrance fees to Holeyrood Castle, Edinburgh Castle, and the Brittania. It's good on 4 different city tour buses too, so we were able to hear some different information on all 4 buses. It's definitely the best value for the money. It was right across from the hotel on the Waverly bridge.

We were given a dingy internal
We were given a dingy internal room with no natural light, bathroom door did not close, mattress old and thin, decor needing a spruce up. You got to the room along narrow corridors, making it feel like the servants quarters. Overall it was crap for £200/night. It was festival time so rooms were scarce, but we should have been warned about the room and offered a discount. Breakfast was good, and in a lovely room.

Good Edinburgh hotel
The hotel does not have an elevator on the ground level. It was a difficult climb for my father to the second floor reception. There is a small elevator from the 2nd floor reception to the upper floors. The breakfast room overlooks the castle and Princess street, with many windows and serves a huge breakfast buffet. Very pleasant.

Time-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
The hotel is located across from the Waverly train station. A light rail is under construction on Princess Street and can cause problems such as no water for the day. The location is central to sightseeing tours, the castle, the park and to dining off George St. The Seating Room is good for an inexpensive dinner and pint. It seemed to be popular with the locals.

Apart from the long climb up stairs
Apart from the long climb up stairs to reception with luggage, the welcome from reception (from a Hungarian Lass!) made up for the oncoming physical heart attack. The room allocated was typically British, in that it was of the least space possible to comply with a hotel room without having any space! The facilities were good, and the hotel was in the centre of the city. The breakfast supplied was more than satisfactory, and staff were courteous, apart from the fact that I couldn't pay cash (a credit card was the only acceptable 'legal tender')for a "nightcap" at the bar. Location, cleanliness and breaky were a good plus.
