Receptionist was charming, chatty and helpful despite it being 9pm when we arrived. Attention to the decor in the corridors plus the festive additions made the hotel seem very welcoming. Breakfast was plentiful, varied, tasty and unhurried.

The bed was dreadful? Old, torn and very uncomfortable I slept dreadfully. The room in general was tired and needs updating, initially I was put 4 flights up in a very small room but when I asked to be moved they found me a much better room so why not fill that first? The breakfast was the same every day? Shame no difficult type of eggs? Also the food menu online is different to the actual menu so why not update that? It was disappointing in general im afraid.

Lovely staff throughout hotel. Dinner on rhe Friday was lovely and a good Christmas menu deal. Room was on the 3rd floor and there was no lift whixh was an issue as we has my 74 year old mother with us and noone offered to help take bags to the room whilst we ensured my mum was manahing the stairs. The room wad tired but had everything we needed and it was clean. Breakfast had a good range of options when they were available. Both morning's we attended there were numerous items that had run out and was not replenished, we were down for breakfast with over an hour left to go. Overall it was a good stay and ideally placed for a day in Edinburgh.

Turned up 40 minutes before 15.00 check in time, having checked in on line hoping to get a room key. No one at reception then someone turned up and told me to go away as it was before 15.00. Radiator in bedroom didn't work. Lots of the paintwork was chipped.
