Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Good hotel, bathroom was not great and a little far to walk to main area. But overall service very good.
So I didn’t want to write this but it’s been 3 weeks and no one from the hotel has reached out and I really hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
A staff member let a random male guest into my room on the first night, without knocking or announcing themselves.
( I had the do not disturb and deadlock on). Lucky the man(guest) said oh sorry and left .
When I asked reception why and how he was let in they said “ I used my staff key as the guest told me 207 was his room number and his key wasn’t working” I stated we have all forgotten room numbers, you should always double check. And it wasn’t working because it wasn’t his room it was mine. He did a little laugh.. maybe he thought I was kidding?
I asked to move rooms as I was pretty upset at this point but was met with confusion and was asked “ so what’s the reason?” which was really frustrating, I felt bad thinking that I was overreacting but I just didn’t feel safe in that room or comfortable leaving my stuff in there when I was out. Which I said.
I had prepaid so if I left I wouldn’t get a refund. I was there for 3 days no one contacted me. I followed up multiple times asking to talk to a manger to make sure it doesn’t happen to someone else. I gave my mobile & email. Nothing.
Location it’s abit far away from the centre. Edinburgh is a gorgeous city but this experience was in the back of my mind. No one acknowledged a mistake or apologised which made me feel stupid. Saddly I wouldn’t ever stay again.
Clean room, very cold though, told reception and they put a heater in our room on the 2nd day

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was LG18. Bathroom door wasn't working neither was the air-con.
Room was tidy and cleaned each day.
Breakfast service was good and service was good.
We had a quick check in the reception staff in fact all the staff from dining room staff to the cook cleaners etc were all extremely mannerly and friendly. Room was very nice and was a really comfortable temperature. Fantastic shower with hot water at all times. Tea coffee making facilities water and biscuits. Couldn’t recommend this hotel enough and will definitely stay again when in Edinburgh.
Couldn't figure out the Aircon to put heating on in the room, even using the internet didn't help. Room was spacious and clean. Good location for us 10 mins walk from Haymarket train station and 20 mins walk from city centre. Good breakfast, and good staff
