Very Good
Pros +
- The hotel is quiet and the staff are always ready to provide service.
- Very nice staff, but I really loved the elevator and fan in the room...the little things.
- Location was fantastic. Rooms had beds and pillows more luxurious than most all 4 star hotels I stay in. Staff were great! I'd tell anyone visiting Edinburgh that this is THE place to stay.
Cons -
- Not the hotel's fault, it's at every UK hotel I've been to, but a regular electrical outlet in the bathroom would be nice.
- No
- Asked the staff to have a taxi waiting for me to go to the airport at 1500. The staff lied saying "they had ordered it please sit and wait". They nevered called and at 1530 I had to get a manager to call. The cab showed 2 min later. Almost missed flight.
