My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were on the small side but clean and comfortable, with an amazing view across the rooftops to the water. The service was welcoming and helpful, although there was a minor inconvenience with the noise. The location was ideal for exploring Edinburgh, but the price may not have matched the experience perfectly. The dining experience was decent but not outstanding, offering a variety of options. The facilities were satisfactory, adding to a comfortable stay.

The hotel had some ups and downs during my stay. The rooms were really big and very comfortable, but had a slight musty smell in the bathroom. The service was a mix - they weren't interested when I asked for a lower floor room, but overall, the staff were very professional and helpful. The location was quite good, ideal for those using the tram from the airport and close to major shopping areas. The dining experience was not up to the four-star standard, with a double charge on breakfast, although it was reasonably priced at £10 per head. Despite this, the self-service option was still good, though some items ran out. Facilities were standard.

The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms but lacks peace and quiet due to its location at the very top of the building with 100 steps up from the main floor. The service is top-notch with very helpful and friendly staff, although some confusion about breakfast inclusion was noted. The location is excellent, right off the tram from the airport and ideal for exploring the main sights with easy access to transport but may experience noise from adjacent construction. The dining experience was satisfactory with a good selection but lacking breakfast included in some reservations. Overall, a decent option with a few drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was ideal for exploring both New Town and Old Town Edinburgh, the room was a bit of a letdown due to the constant noise from traffic and trams. The service was impeccable, with staff always ready to help, but the dining experience fell short in terms of value for money. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and some drawbacks.

The room I stayed in was compact and located in the basement under a sloping roof. The Harry Potter-esque decor and selection of books added a unique touch, but the noise from traffic and corridors made it hard to relax.

The hotel offers warm and comfortable rooms equipped with everything we needed, but basic furnishings and lack of water bottles in the room. The service was courteous, friendly, and very helpful, with attentive staff. A great location close to the city center and fringe festival venues, although noise from adjacent construction could be a disturbance. The dining experience was filling but not refined, and the facilities were limited with only skylight ventilation in rooms.

The hotel had exceptionally small rooms that need improvement, especially with noise insulation. The rooms were overpriced for their size and lack of facilities. The heat was noticeable as a fan was provided in the room, which was appreciated after climbing all the stairs. The welcome was lacking, and the reception desk was uninterested during check-out.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were incredibly spacious, exceeding my expectations, but they lacked attention to detail with curtains not fitting perfectly and some lights not working. The cleanliness was also an issue in the bathroom. The location was highly convenient, being right by the tram terminal in the heart of Edinburgh, though there were some issues with the bathroom facilities. The service was accommodating and helpful, but at times, the staff lacked professionalism and came across as rude. The dining options were below par and overpriced. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.
