Overall was ok, quite well located, just few minutes walking from Royal Mile, in very lively street. Main complain, breakfast, it is very expensive, considering the many options around the hotel, and it is not a buffet, you need to order and they bring it to you, and there are not many options, we only had breakfast there one day.

Had no wifi from day one. Made three calls to wifi support, and contacted the front desk to no avail. Helpdesk said to use a wired connection, but front desk only had one ethernet cable for the entire hotel: they might want to think about buying more. A bit noisy on the street (not the hotel's fault and they did humorously supply ear plugs) but the view to Edinburgh Castle was very nice, indeed. All in all, not bad.

Edinburgh city centre in August - it couldn't be anything other than moderately expensive. A great location, just 5 minutes from the Castle and the Royal Mile. Pity that the central heating was out of control - the corridors were stiflingly hot.

The best thing going for this hotel is the location. It is right well placed for sightseeing (the Castle overlooks the hotel), places to eat and nightlife and only a 15 minute walk or £5 cab ride from Princes Street and the shops and quality restaurants. We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel but the staff and bar facilities are excellent. There were 2 free internet stations as well on each floor which was very useful when looking for places to go and things to do.
