    Staff were cold and unhelpful. Parking isn't available at the hotel but only a block away. Breakfast is simple, rooms are dingy, but I assume that it is because the building is old but could do with a face-lift.

    Good location.

    Very little as we enjoyed our stay.

    It is really central for getting around the city as it right beside the railway station. We found it comfortable and the staff were friendly so it was ideal for our 2 night city break.

    Breakfast was served in what had obviously been a huge function room. It was cold and impersonal and totally the wrong setting. It used to be served in the reception/bar area, which was a much nicer more intimate setting. Breakfast itself was adequate, a cold buffet. A cooked breakfast was available but we were not offered this. The staff in the breakfast area were unwelcoming and disinterested.

    Location was great, right next to the train station and we were travelling by train. Room was good, clean and comfortable. Only issue there was the heating- a bit difficult to control, either too hot or too cold.

    The coffee was the worst coffee I had while on my trip. I watched the other customers complain and try to figure out where to get coffee and no one could. I tried 4 different mixes from the machine and none of them were good.

    Lovely, old building. Loved the location and character of it.

    Charming, rustic, once grand hotel. Great location.

    Honestly, we felt the breakfast could have been a little better. Other than that, perhaps just the fact that our faucet leaked and there was no one there to fix it. The dripping made a terrible noise, but that wasn't really a problem. I found a solution to the dripping, and we didn't care. This hotel was so much better than the one we stayed in while touring Edinburgh, at a cheaper price, that we were in heaven. It had charm and was old world, and seemed to have a grand and quite substantial history. I'm into that type of thing, so spent time examining artifacts placed around the hotel.

    Honestly, this hotel, although not the most new, had an old world charm that just got us. There was a grand staircase in the entrance, along with folks sipping on coffee from the cafe. The art on the walls harkened back to olden times, and there were book racks galore. It just felt like we were transported. Breakfast included was ok, nothing special. The room was great as well, fine in size with a large bathroom, although the faucet leaked pretty horribly. Still, I found this older and once grand hotel refreshing. It even had a few hidden places, like a modern art gallery on the second floor. The restaurant next door also was a nice touch, and it was walking distance to most of the shops and stores. Right next to the train station too! Great place to stay, really, if you don't mind sacrificing a little modern style for charm. We loved it.

    Water in shower just hot enough. Towel rail cold toilet seat loose. Had wine from the restaurant went back to ask for ice as it wasn't chilled enough for me abs barman said well it's in the chiller so it must be cold which I found a bit rude.

    Location great, breakfast fair. Fresh fruit to mix with yoghurt. Just tinned

    Can’t think of anything

    Although it was an older style property everything seemed in keeping with the age of the building, high ceilings in the bedrooms, furniture was lovely, we loved the Marquetry on all of it , main staircase would be lovely for the bride and groom to walk down , photos would be outstanding
