Brilliant location for exploring Edinburgh, lovely staff in the main and great room. what lets it down is the attention to detail, the brass plates on the doors for example covered with finger prints and not cleaned whilst we were there, sand on our floor (sorry) and not hoovered, breakfast not kept replenished even though we were right in the middle, tables not wiped properly otherwise wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel
