The property is good for a business trip, but not so convenient and easy for a family trip with a toddler. Nothing wrong with the place, just didn’t work as well as we wanted for our needs.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Room was mostly nice and clean, but some staining on the carpets. Staff were really friendly and attentive. We booked a castle view room, which was way more expensive than other rooms, and barely had a view of the castle. We could mostly see the building across the road. Really not worth the extra money and a big disappointment given such a difference in price. I’d stay here again but wouldn’t spend the extra for this type of room again.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The nightly rate for this hotel is Resort level, but what you're getting is an average night at a Holiday Inn. There is "climate control" but not air conditioning--and that matters more and more in Europe in the summer. The pool is small and they charge extra for using a robe. When we checked in, we were not told about any of the services or opening times for amenities. Essentially we were not "welcomed," we took part in a (expensive) business transaction. Since I felt that I was paying for a Resort, I did expect friendly, more enthusiastic customer service, a robe included, and nicer changing rooms for the small pool. Edinburgh is an expensive city, especially in the summer, but my advice is to book way in advance for a better rate--and if you're going to pay this rate, make sure you're getting plenty of amenities.

Had a great stay - better room layout than Novotel London (Tower Bridge location - separate toilet room and an opaque wall between shower and the bedroom); Parking is certainly tight and not guaranteed for the next time you return, once you pull-out; Breakfast buffet was great; Convenient location - quick 10min walk to royal mile as well as the train (Waverly) station
