    Light bulbs in the bedside lamps - too low wattage and couldn’t read by them! However, when mentioned this to staff as we booked out, she said she’d make sure it was sorted.

    Exceptional staff who welcomed us, even though we were 4 hours early, and gave us breakfast. Easy-going but very professional. Great atmosphere & decor well finished.

    The first room we were shown to had a tiny bathroom and the sink was in the main bedroom. It wasn't the end of the world but I'm really glad we upgraded our room as It made the stay much more comfortable.

    Stayed here for 4 nights and had a fabulous time. Breakfast was fantastic and the staff were always friendly and helpful. Great location, we got lucky with the weather and so walked everywhere from the hotel. When we arrived we had the option to upgrade our room, which we did and it was really worth it. I would absolutely recommend staying in one of the executive rooms over the superior rooms. The bed was unbelievably comfortable and very roomy. We had dinner in the main restaurant on our last night and the food, although pricey for our budget, was exceptional. Staff were also great with my food allergy and were very accommodating. Would really recommend staying at the Roseate, we hope to come back next year.

    Five stars is not enough. The service is impeccable and everyone is so friendly and accommodating! We stayed in the suite with a bathtube - amazing! We didn’t want to leave! The dinner was very good, breakfast amazing, same for the bar and the afternoon tea. We will definitely be back, thank you all for a lovely and wonderful experience!

    Rain shower was more of a rain drizzle. A hotel proclaiming to be, and charging as, a top tier boutique hotel they need to install a pressurised water system. I know it was the off season but there was a choice of only two main dishes on the evening menu and the dishes did not change while staying. The dish we did have was somewhat uninspiring. (This is Edinburgh so plenty of choice within easy reach).

    A member of staff noticed out arrival and came out to the car to help with luggage. Check in was done after having arranged a drink for us and given us a seat. Unlike nearly all post Brexit experiences of Uk hotels it was well staffed with prompt service by experienced knowledgeable staff. Paid for large room which was adequate.

    The only niggle for me was the size of the room key/ key chain was huge and difficult to pop in a small handbag for an evening out, but apart from that everything was exactly how I like it.

    Very convenient location from the airport - 25mins, Murrayfield Stadium is a short walk and into town 15mins walk or bus less time - straight line on the 100 Airport Bus. Beautiful old building, comfortably furnished. The hotel smelt heavenly as one enters. The lounge and bar area is comfortable and cosy. The hotel room was a bit small but clean and well appointed, with plenty of plug outlets for charging and laptops etc. I slept very well. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay and hope to come back with family and not just for work.

    Our room was a little small, with no wardrobe.

    Firstly, lovely staff - all of them! Breakfast was fantastic. Quality bedding and toiletries. Lovely buildings. Not too bad to drive to. Two car parks. Walking distance from the city (30 mins to centre) as long as you're reasonably fit - we walked both days.

    Warm welcome by hotel staff. We arrived very early in the morning, hours before check-in, but they let us rest our feet in the restaurant, which was very nice. The room was bigger than we thought, and well stocked. Probably one of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had (the porridge was exquisite).

    Decided to dine at the restaurant as well as have a few drinks at the hotel in the evening. Find it slightly odd (especially considering the bill was around £100 at the time) that we were requested to pay while we were still ordering nibbles and drinks to our table.

    Really nice staff, great service! Greeted with tea upon arrival, breakfast was prepared perfectly. Was booked as a birthday surprise and a little note along with a little treat was ready to greet us in the room, very nice touch! Nice decor and very clean and good location, not far from central Edinburgh.

    Had to change rooms because of some electrical problems, the toilets were wonky in both rooms. Fully functional, but the seat was loose in one and the bowl had duct tape in the other. We were upgraded to a bigger room with a king sized bed, but it was far too soft.

    The staff was exceptional.
