We stayed in this hotel in April 2007. It was booked last minute through the website of the same name.
On arrival the reception staff were friendly and helpful. We were allocated a room on the 3rd floor, overlooking Princes Street, it\'s gardens with a view of the Castle.
The room was spacious with en suite bathroom. There were tea making facilities with ample tea, coffee, hot chocolate and shortbread.
The decor/paintwork was a little tired. I believe that the rooms were being refurbished.
There was a maid service daily.
The food at dinner was excellent (£25.50) for 3 courses. The breakfast was plentiful. The usual cereals, fruit juices, yogurts, croissants along with the usual cooked items, including haggis (that the chef roams the hills for daily). Tea/coffee & toast.
The hotel is very central. Just a 3 minute walk from Waverley station. Tour buses stop opposite hotel.
