Bargain break in the city

Advantages: Lovely rooms, helpful staff.
Disadvantages: No parking, view wasn't the greatest!

...I stayed at the Roxburghe Hotel last year with my fiance for the weekend. It is part of the MacDonalds hotel chain. Was a bit tricky to find it on Charlotte square but the annoying part was trying to find a nearby car park as the hotel has no parking facilites. The hotel itself was very nice indeed! The staff were very friendly and helpful on every occasion. Did feel a bit out of place in my jeans and old trainers but all the same we didn't get ...
...queen size comfortable bed. The only thing that wasn't too nice was our view, you opened the curtains and saw a ledge with some dead birds and rubbish on it. Nice!! Room service was excellent. Mini bar was stocked full but i don't touch these as they are always way overpriced. The location was fantasic as well, lots of restaurants and pubs etc nearby as well as many shopping centres. My friend works for MacDonalds and got us the room for £30 a night ...

Review of The Roxburghe Hotel, Edinburgh

" a happy valentine "

Advantages: close proximity to centre of city and public transport system.
Disadvantages: front facing rooms could be a little noisy from the busy road outside.

spent 3days at the carlton around valentines day . Having read that the front rooms of the hotel can be a little noisy from traffic etc. I phoned reception a couple of days before, and asked if we could be allocated a rear facing room--- This was duly done with no problem. The room itself was of a good size, with a small sitting area, and a good sized bathroom. the twin beds were very comfortable. The inclusive breakfast was of a good quality and ...

Review of Carlton Hotel, Edinburgh

Royal Terrace Hotel

Advantages: Great location, lovely entrance areas
Disadvantages: very shabby in bedrooms

...that this was not the Royal Terrace Hotel. We found our hotel a bit further down the street, and after parking the car, went in. I have to mention that a down side to this hotel is that it doesn’t have a car park, and the car has to be parked on the street. We aren’t “precious” about the car, but didn’t fancy having it towed a way, although the man assured us that over the weekend it would be fine…it was! ~~Address and Location~~ 18 Royal Terrace ...
...short walk from the city centre, so no need to get taxis or buses. ~~Entrance and checking in~~ The entrance to the hotel is very modern- all brown and cream, very clean, with sofas and tables dotted around. Handy if you have lots of cases, there is an automatic door, so no fighting with bags and the pushing and pulling of doors. At one side of the entrance area is a small bar with bar stools round the bar area, and three or four small tables with ...

Review of Royal Terrace Hotel, Edinburgh

Definitely British. Not so much of the Royal

Advantages: Conveniently located. Friendly reception staff. Spacious room
Disadvantages: Tired. Unfriendly breakfast waiting staff. Dated

...online led me to the Royal British Hotel, conveniently located immediately opposite Waverley train station, right in the centre of Edinburgh on Princes Street. I booked online at www.royalbritishhotel.com, and found a B&B rate of £75 if I was willing to book and pay in advance. I was, so I did. The hotel looms over the railway station. The building itself looks quite old, though the entrance looks very 60s - concrete and glass facade. Reception isn't ...
...there is one of the conference rooms), but rather on the first (and a bit), thus necessitating a stair climb. This wasn't an issue for me, as I only had an overnight bag. I believe there was also a small lift, but I must admit, I didn't really pay much attention, my eye instead being drawn to the stairs right in front of me. The decor around the stairs and reception area was clean, if a bit tired. Climbing the stairs brings you to reception. Again, ...

Review of Royal British, Edinburgh

It wasn't as good as I expected, am I aiming too high?

Advantages: Nice senery, nice swimming pool, not too far from Edinburgh, nice surroundings to walk around!
Disadvantages: old hotel-a bit 70s, old cutlery(not old style, but used - you can tell obviously!)

My husband & I stayed for 2 nights in Kalzie suite in late sept/oct 09- is claimed by the hotel official website as 1 of the luxury room of the whole hotel, no espcial offer+cannot book from internet.- it was to celebrate my 30th birthday and to have a relaxing days out of the city. The suite is located on ground floor, where near the swimming pool/ leisure club, dining room, which was handy for us. There's a private corridor to get into the 2 ...
...are closed loudly, could even hear from inside the room, although there are not many people passing the corridor at all, so it was fine. The living room in the suite....nice decor, big victorian window, nice view (no matter cloudy, misty/ sunny!), size isn't as big as I expected from the official website photos. There's a nice modern fire place- didn't use it, cos it smells, don't know when was the last time it was being used. Sofa and chairs are ...
