The hotel offers beautifully decorated and spacious rooms, although some expected 5-star amenities are missing. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The location is central yet tranquil, providing easy access to all Edinburgh attractions. The dining experience, while elegant, lacks variety. Overall, a luxurious but not flawless stay.

The hotel offers stunning rooms with beautiful views across Edinburgh, but there are ventilation issues. The service is exceptional, with kind and helpful staff. The location is excellent for exploring different parts of the city, but not directly in the city center. Dining options are tasty but simple for the price, and the facilities are well-maintained.

The hotel's location is excellent for easy access to Old Town, New Town, and the Botanical Gardens. It is situated in a very quiet area within walking distance of the city center. The glorious views over the Firth to Fife from the sash windows are a highlight.

My stay at the hotel was incredible. The rooms offered amazing views of Carlton Hill, were spacious, and had plenty of storage, making them feel extra special. However, I wished there were tea making facilities in the room itself. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to both the Old Town and New Town, while being situated in a tranquil area close to city center attractions. The dining experience was fairly basic but satisfactory. Overall, a great value for the money.
