Night mare in edinburgh
TERRIBLE! This was the first time using Hotels.com and we were extremely disappointed. We arrived to find the hotel boarded up and no lights on. We phoned the hotel.com call centre 3 times and spent 1hour on the line. They did not call us back as promised they did not find us another hotel. Horrific experiance. 98% of edinburgh was full and were looking to sleep on the floor or basement of a bar luckily we eventually found a extremely expensive BB that had a late cancellation. Worst 1st year aniversary ever. We still have had not email or contact from Hotel.com to get our money back.

Our trip to London was amazing, the apartment was our best choice of Hotels, with plenty of room, the shower just needed some extra cleaning (sorry), but I would recommend this stay when visiting.

Bit disappointing.
When I booked this hotel some time ago, the reviews were generally positive. I had another look just before we were due to stay and it appears that standards may have slipped a bit recently. So I was a bit concerned about what we might encounter. Fortunately, we didn't experience any of the significant issues that other guests have encountered recently. The guy who checked us in wasn't particularly friendly but was professional enough. Our room was OK, although it could be doing with a bit of a spruce up. The bathroom wasn't particularly clean, though. A clean bathroom is the minimum you expect from a hotel, so that was really disappointing. I'd probably have given the hotel a lower rating, if it weren't for the fact that the breakfast was pretty good. As a veggie, I very much appreciated that the vegetarian cooked breakfast included veggie haggis! First time I've seen that as breakfast option! The hotel offers a good range of breakfast options and the wee dining room is nice. We won't be going back though - the grubby bathroom is a deal breaker. Which is a shame, as it's a nightmare finding good, reasonably priced, hotel rooms in Edinburgh.

My new accommodation of choice during the fringe
Room was a a lot better than expected and the super king bed was really comfortable. Beth really looked after us whilst we were there and it was a pity not to stay another night. I quite liked the fact it was away from the mental city centre during the fringe. We will be back....cheap for August and a wicked breakfast to top it off

Great place
I stayed for several days during the Edinburgh festival. About a mile or 20 minutes walk from Waverley Station it was a great base to see the city. The owners couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. As I had booked the room over 8 months in advance, it was nice to get a 'welcome email' the day before arrival and checking through details with me. The room was nice. I stayed in a single room (room 6). The room is lovely. It didn't matter to me (but it might to others who want to book) but the ensuite in the room was just the shower and the sink. The private toilet for the room was across the corridoor. I didn't know when booking, but overal it was not a problem. The water pressure in the shower was a bit 'up and down'. One morning it took a couple of minutes to get to a pressure where I could wash the conditioner out of my hair as it was very low. Nice to have coffee making facilities in the room and the hairdryer was excellent. The breakfast was lovely with an excellent range of cooked options as well as self-service continental options. For the price I paid (especially considering it was Festival time) it was exceptionally good value for money.

Ideal location and price for Edinburgh. We were there for a Runrig concert and walked from the hotel dropped into a few pubs on the way to Grassmarket where we had a meal prior to the castle

Runrig
Our garden view room was a basement room that looked onto the underneath of the entrance steps and a brick brick wall with some sort of fusebox on it. Would suggest tidying the area and adding some plants/flowers to enhance. The interior of our room had a large damp patch on the wall, but the bed was excellent (very firm) for us. Our ensuite could have been cleaner, the shower door required some maintenance and the toilet seat didn't fit the toilet. However, the breakfast was excellent and the girl from New Zealand who served breakfast and met us on arrival was Lovely! All in all for what we paid it was okay and a bit of TLC to the rooms would improve the overall guest experience.

Good location with buses by door every 10 mins. 5 mins to centre by bus. Parking on busy street. Basement room. Tiny with chunk given over to en suite. bath with powershower. Silly little basin you're supposed to wash your face in. Hot control detached in bath/shower. Big lumpy bed. Room lighting for trolls. Very good breakfast in pleasant room.
