Old Waverley Hotel

8/10 Good

"Had a problem with the shower but within 20 mins of reporting to reception, handyman was there to fix. Excellent service"

Heeton Concept Aparthotel Edinburgh Queen Street

8/10 Good

"+ Check-in was very easy and staff were helpful. Location was perfect for getting around the city, the AC was great and the bed was comfortable. - The cleanliness of the room was not the best and the lack of regular housekeeping was not ideal, as 4 days between cleans is a bit long. The HVAC did not appear to work for circulation, and there was some old water damage to the bathroom door frame/swelling of kitchenette linoleum."
