Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has lovely open views, but there was an issue with water in the bedroom. The service was good, though there is room for improvement in customer interaction. The location is very quiet and pretty, offering a peaceful stay. The dining options nearby were excellent. Overall, a comfortable stay with a beautiful setting.
This hotel is a gem! The rooms are spacious and modern, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location is absolutely stunning, nestled on a hill with beautiful views. However, the dining options are a bit limited, and the train station is quite a distance away.
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 enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and had a great garden view. The service was good, but I wished the staff would be more welcoming. The location was peaceful on a hill with beautiful surroundings. The dining options nearby were excellent, and the fresh croissants were a treat. Overall, a pleasant experience with a few areas that could be improved.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with a stunning view of the water from my room. The service was top-notch, offering excellent customer care and attention to detail. The location was peaceful, overlooking the beautiful gardens, and was still convenient to the city center. The dining options were superb, especially with fresh fish available. The facilities were modern and well-equipped.
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.
