wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy!

Do NOT stay there!!! worst experience I have ever had on a trip away. What was meant to be a relaxing break away turned into a complete disaster. Which could have been avoided if staff were competent. We were very disappointed!
Great hotel

There is something strange going on at this Hotel.
Before arriving we were informed that the Breakfast is now Contintenal Buffet, not Full Cooked Breakfast, since the company running the kitchens had now left.
The hotel is well located in a quiet road, with-in walking distance of the City Centre. The room was fine. But I question weather this Hotel should retain it's four stars since it now offers no Restaurant facilities.
We had pre-booked packed lunches at a agreed price of £10 each. We were provided with a round a cheese and tomato and a roaund of ham and tomato sandwiches, the fillings for which came directly from the breakfast buffet table. In addition we had a plastic container of "Salad" consisting of lettuce, tomato and lemon wedges! We had no means of eating this. We were also given a variety of fruit, also from the breakfast table! We had to ask for a drink, which was bottled water! There was no-one in authority to deal with our complaint, and we were charged £20 arrcordingly.
Overall - a dissappointing experience.

Top Local Tips for Edinburgh
Walking around Edinburgh Take waterproof coats & especially trousers, Edinburgh seems to have been built with the intention of funnelling all wind and rain horizontally down the streets, the lightest rain will find its way through your outer clothes and it is COLD
Go out and about From the Albany to the Abstract...a must
The Royal Britannia Go see this. It was really neat and not too pricey.
