"Pillows were yellow, drains did not drain, and the place needed a good cleaning. Stayed three nights and only saw staff when we checked in. This is a problem because the doorbell rings all night long. 30 minute walk to Waverly and the Royal Mile."

"Not worth £150/night. My room had dirty carpet and there were black hair on the bathroom floor when I arrived. One day my room was not cleaned after I came back from the town 15.30. Swimming pool very small for so big hotel. Over all not clean and too expensive."
