poor housekeeping missing service
housekeeping wasn't great. on the second day, they didn't change towels or clear glasses, and on the third day, no one came at all, even after i told them when we would be out. for the price i paid, that was quite disappointing.

Acceptable Stay

convenient location relaxing lounge pre dinner drinks warm rooms ineffective a c insufficient airflow
The location was quite convenient. It was fairly close to the city center (a definite plus for exploring!). The hotel also had a bar where I could get pre-dinner drinks. A lounge was great.
The rooms were quite warm. I do not think the A/C was effective. The windows opened only a little, and the airflow was insufficient. The bedding seemed more suitable for a cold winter night.

fantastic stay!

helpful staff delicious dinner kind gesture
This hotel was seriously excellent. the staff were super nice and helpful, offering great service. i loved our suite. It was seriously lovely. breakfast was excellent, i particularly enjoyed the delicious dinner served in the dining room two nights. we received a discount because our order took a little longer one night, i was blown away by the kind gesture!
i noticed a very slight delay in being served a drink at the bar one evening, that was the only very minor blip!

thin walls small room
the comfy bed with lovely linen was acceptable, i suppose.
I asked for bathrobes but reception said they had none. the walls were also pretty thin. I could hear every flush and footstep all night! it was a tad expensive for such a small room too.

Kate and mayan were very helpful as concierges. Their kindness was excellent. the hotel's location allowed easy walks to attractions like the vaults cathedral and the fringe. the reception team was lovely and greeted me warmly upon my early arrival. i settled into a suite, staff showed me the amenities.
i think the cleaner forgot to flush the toilet after cleaning, but that didn't matter as everything else was really good.

nice stay

comfortable bed central location thoughtful touch easy exploration
I celebrated a special occasion . the hotel upgraded my room, a thoughtful touch. the bed provided the most comfortable sleep i've experienced in scotland. the central location allowed easy exploration. Everything was within walking distance.
i found the maze-like layout of the rooms somewhat confusing at first, though i eventually navigated it successfully. the odd room names added to the initial disorientation.

The staff exhibited really good attitude and were consistently helpful.
