We had a cosy room but it was a little too small for the money. It should really be for single occupancy as you couldn’t get around both sides of the bed.

When we first got there, check-in went well. The woman informed us it was her last day. Weird. So we went up to our room and we noticed there was a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. We thought how wonderful because we had told them at the front desk that it was our 35th anniversary. After two minutes of being in the room, we hear a knock at the door and there’s a young kid they’re telling us the wine was delivered to the wrong room and he needs to take it back. We laughed so hard because it was so low class. Five star hotels do not do that. When we did order wine glasses for a pre-anniversary celebration it took them forever to deliver them. I called again and they brought them right away, but said the wine opener will be delivered by someone else. When the wine opener finally arrived, the young man explained that they are very understaffed. Yeah no kidding. The pillows were extremely uncomfortable. Inexplicably, the room only had one chair. Also, for some reason, they left vacuum cleaners in the hallway, which just looked trashy. That said the staff was very nice for the most part. I love the Byredo bath products too. Anyway, I think an Intercontinental can do better than this.

Beautiful decor and extremely clean. Lovely breakfast buffet and menu along with coffees in the morning. Booked premium king room. Had to move after two nights due to noise from ?something in ceiling / staff room beside us. Constant creaking and thumping. Could not sleep well even with ear plugs in. Staff moved us to another smaller room (no adjustment in room rate) and although there was a utility / fire closet in between, could hear tv next door with ear plugs in. Had to turn on loud AC fan to drown out sound. Very disappointing when paying > £350-400 per night.

Was not given the premium king room I had paid extra for when booking w Expedia several weeks prior to my arrival. I was given a smaller classic king room. The website shows pictures and dimensions of each room. I was clearly given the latter. The manager Hannah was very rude and argumentative when asked to please be given the room I paid for.. She kept arguing w me and insisting I was given the premium room. We were exhausted and had been traveling overnight from the US to Scotland and Hannah’s attitude and lack of customer service skills were disappointing. After much back and forth we were finally offered a room that better fit the description of what was paid for . On a brighter note.. The two gentleman (David and Aslan) that showed us to our rooms and brought our luggage up were very kind, personable and professional. I give them 5 stars!

I enjoyed my stay at this property, the room was magnificent. Some of the property’s common areas could use a little refresh (mainly the bathrooms off the lobby area). Staff couldn’t be more accommodating and the little cafe attached to the hotel was outstanding, wonderful service and the best London Fog I’ve ever had. My one challenge was the location, it was a 20 minute walk to get to the main area of Edinburgh which is called the Royal Mile. I didn’t mind getting my steps in, just wanted put it out there as I would likely consider something more centrally located on my next visit.

The hotel is located on Princes Street in the central area of New Town Edinburgh. It is ideal for shopping, cafes, restaurants and bars, with easy access to museums and other popular places for sightseeing. When I was shown to my room, it was hot & maintenance confirmed the a/c was broken. I was reassigned to a new room. The a/c worked but had a small window facing a shaft. Nevertheless, he room was larger and seemed to be more in line with what I booked. Staff kept it immaculately clean but: The desk lamp stopped working after one day. They replaced it. The hair dryer didn’t work, and housekeeping had to replace that. The shower head belongs in the category of “Chinese Water Torture”. The desk is worn and had evidence of water damage. And the heated towel rack? As chilled as iced champagne on a winter’s evening. The hotel has a bar, café and restaurant. My booking included breakfast and that is held in the restaurant, Le Petite Beefbar. There is a breakfast buffet there which was great. I also had dinner there which was truly excellent with attentive staff to make recommendations for the food and drinks. The hotel is billed as a 5-star property. I recommend it but give it 4 stars due to the room experience.

We enjoyed our stay, the hotel was very good the staff were very nice and friendly. We decided to dine on our second night in the hotel, unfortunately we had a bad experience with what we chose in the Le Petit beef bar. We chose the chateaubriand but unfortunately it was not like chateaubriands we have had in the past which have been tender, medium rare and full of flavour! This one was large pieces of meat which lacked flavour and was chewy! very disappointing. In my opinion not like tenderloin at all! The The person who handled our complaint was non committable but offered to refund half of the price of the chateaubriand which we accepted.

The hotel was very accommodating with early check-ins. The location is also great. Dinner at their restaurant was also very good. Breakfast, however, was not. We found alternative breakfast places for the rest of our stay. The rooms have carpets which are not hygienic for hotels - mine had a big stain on it. The bathroom had no fan for ventilation, and the room was freezing. I asked for a second duvet and still had to buy a hot water bottle to stay warm enough to sleep well. There were also no drawers in the room other than the tiny ones in the bedside tables. Overall, I don't think this hotel warrants 5 stars or the prices they charge.

We enjoyed our one-night stay on our way back from Skye. The room was spacious and quiet. Much nicer than similar hotels in the US.

8.0 / 10.0

The hotel is made up of two old buildings that have been (sort of) connected. But going from reception to your room can involve a complicated process of going to one floor, walking across, then going to another floor. Staff were super helpful. Breakfast is excellent and the location can’t be beat. And Edinburgh is such a wonderful place to visit!

This is my third stay here in 2 years and the stuff is exceptional- they treat me like returning family. Service and friendliness is above and beyond! Not to mention the most excellent location for exploring Edinburgh. Close to great restaurants and shopping yet also quiet and reserved.
