Exceptional staff who were very friendly and helpful. Made my trip very pleasant despite current restrictions.

The decor is absolutely gorgeous! Scandi designer feel and we had a duplex which gave us a lot more space and privacy. The pool was fantastic and spotless as were the changing rooms

We originally booked the Waterloo Hotel but our reservation was switched to the Grassmarket Hotel which we enjoyed better. The view of Edinburgh Castle was stunning from our balcony. Room was very clean and comfortable. Staff was so welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Great facilities, will be back!

Excellent quality excellent staff most comfortable hotel bed iv had in a long time

The hotel is in the perfect location. We were able to walk around the most famous monuments without any need of the transport. Room was roomy, very tidy and clean, warm and we had a wonderful view through the window. Personal was very kind and helpful. Food was great. And pool was warm enough. We definitely will come back here next year.

A lovely hotel with accommodating and attentive staff. Dinner was served in the bar rather than the restaurant which was a little disappointing given that due to lockdown no other restaurants were open and we found a plaster in the pool suggesting it was wasn’t cleaned thoroughly. Loved our stay though. Room was upgraded as it was our anniversary, which was lovely and a congratulations card was left which was a really nice touch. Great location. Great stay.

Staff are super friendly and very helpful. Hotel has a nice ambience and the room size and layout is great! Only a few minutes walk to the centre and all amenities close by! Definitely a comfortable and peaceful stay in the capital.

Great location, warm swimming pool, nice wine, good food.

Breakfast was fine, no problem with anything really. NIce hotel great location for our needs. Enjoyed our stay

Friendly and excellent staff made for a lovely stay in a very comfortable and relaxing hotel
