Staff was very friendly! We got upgraded to the historical suite which was a bonus after a long flight. Place was very clean and upkept. Breakfast was delicious! Would definitely book here again on our next trip.
The hotel was full of character,we were lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite which was absolutely stunning.
The breakfast selection was a little different than the usual full English cooked,and was delicious.
Would highly recommend staying in this hotel,plenty of bars/restaurants close by and very conveniently located for exploring the manifest city centre.
Great location, friendly staff, clean, the beds were terrible. Thankfully I only needed to stay there for one night, but the mattresses were poor quality.
I have stayed at this property many times. Its proximity to the playhouse and bus station , helpful and friendly staff, tasty breakfast and delicious wine makes this the perfect hotel for me. It may be a little bit more expensive but it’s worth every penny.
Beautiful property with a staff that will gi above and beyond to make sure your stay is great 😁 Thank you
Would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone
Outstanding staff, welcoming, informative. Lovely historic property convenient to National Portrait Gallery, St. James and Waverly Station. Delicious breakfast options with buffet and cooked choices. Very nice bar.
The staff were very helpful with our luggage. We left it with the hotel as we took a couple side trips.
We would recommend this hotel. It is quite close to the train station and the bus station.
Great location and staff... My small room is perfect for a solo traveler... very clean and breakfast was top shelf but extra.
No elevator or AC, which was no big deal for me but keep that in mind if those are things you need.
Great view from my top floor room, housekeeping was efficient and always finished before I came back in the early afternoon, front desk staff were great, and maintenance fixed a minor issue I experienced quickly. Great location and nice bed. Would go back!
The room was quite clean and they made it up nicely every day when we put the sign on our door. We liked the breakfast choices and the fruit, yogurt, bread etc. The location was great for us - getting to the train station, restaurants, and the Royal Mile took about 15 minutes walking, and the castle about 20. St.James Quarter (a nice mall) was five minutes away. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful!
