The room on first floor was situated over the street with floor to ceiling windows. Getting ready in wee hours was like a cave with window shades needing to be closed for privacy. No mirrors near any outlets for hair tools. Felt like a cave. Stayed at this Doubletree before and other rooms were better. Lived previous visit, this room was meh.

It was good. I had a free early check-in. They gave free freshly baked warm cookies upon checkin. The breakfast is good too. In the evening they have free muffins and donuts because of Women’s day. Location is good too.

The hotel is a short walk from an ncp carpark which makes travel convenient. The breakfast options are excellent and whilst the restaurant evening menu is limited, there are good options and the food tastes lovely. Plenty of places to sit, and a good bar. It is easily walkable to grass market and princes street. Staff are very friendly and helpful. This is the second time I have stayed here, and would definitely recommend it.

WEEKEND in EDINBURGH

Our stay in Edinburgh was good, the hotel itself was nice and we were happy that we were allowed an early check IN. However disappointed that the room condition was not great, bathroom sink was cracked and bathroom door was very noisy had to put lotion on it to free it up. Breakfast was excellent and the service was very good. Check in and out was great.
