The bar offered a very good selection of drinks including Tennents lager and Champagne by the glass. The only issue I had was the newspapers in the lounge area had no Scottish newspapers only right wing English newspapers such as the Daily Mail and Telegraph. Perhaps a Scotsman or Herald for us locals. The museum downstairs was fascinating

Lift not working. Feel that someone should have carried our luggage upstairs. They did half heartedly offer to carry it if we couldn't manage. We said we thought we could but it was actually very difficult as there were more stairs than we thought and we are not in good health. Bar very shabby and not 4 star. Everything else very good

The mattress needs to be replaced; it felt like a pullout sofa mattress; Couldn’t sleep most of the night. The place has so much potential but it felt like a 1980’s eclectic decorating job - lots of mismatched styles & just felt out of date. The breakfast buffet had plenty of choices but it was just average. Disappointing from when I stayed there 6 years ago.

Great variety of options at breakfast, something for everyone including any intolerances. Service was great in the bar and at breakfast - staff were very friendly and accommodating to our 3 year old. The room was good - decor fits the building - it's an older palace so don't expect modern room interiors, however the bathroom have been completely
