The hotel offers fantastic views down the hill towards Leith, with rooms equipped with a safe and fridge. However, there are some issues with service and the need for more customer-friendly staff. The location is beautiful, although not far from the city center attractions. The dining options are satisfactory, and the facilities are great.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms offered a luxurious touch and a great view down the hill towards Leith but were disturbed by housekeeping slamming doors every minute or so and water pouring in from the ceiling vents in the bedroom. The service, while going the extra mile, lacked a bit of warmth and openness, especially from reception and chambermaid staff. The location, situated on a hill in a pretty area of the city, was serene but dampened by discovering the restaurant was closed. Dining options were limited to just pizza. Overall, the facilities were decent, but improvements are needed in some areas.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful views over the park from my room and appreciating the excellent service provided by the staff. However, the location on the hill towards Leith made accessing luggage deposits near the station a bit inconvenient. The nearby dining options were fantastic, but I wished there were more canapes available. Overall, it was a great value for money with some minor room for improvements.

I stayed at this hotel on the -1 level and found the beds to be very comfy. The water pouring in from the ceiling vents in the bedroom was a bit concerning, but the shower water was fine. The reception and chambermaid service, however, could use a bit more warmth and attentiveness. The location in a quiet area was lovely, although not too close to the city center. I had excellent options for dining nearby, but the lack of a proper welcome drink service was disappointing. Overall, it's a decent stay, but with some room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were unique, with water pouring in from the ceiling vents, offering a great view over the park. However, the luxurious touch was a bit lacking. The service overall was good, although there were moments when it could have been more attentive and welcoming. The location was quiet, but not very convenient in terms of access to the city center. The dining options were limited to Japanese dishes. The facilities were adequate but nothing extraordinary.
