Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms could be cleaner — The lowest rating category is 'Rooms and cleanliness' at 6 out of 10, suggesting some guests found housekeeping inconsistent.
- Prices can feel high — One review noted the hotel was 'too expensive' for the value received, and the price point of £632 per night may not suit all budgets.
- Only pay-at-property options — Parking is not listed in the policies, so guests arriving by car will need to find alternative arrangements, which can be tricky in central Edinburgh.
