The hotel's location is fantastic, close to key attractions like shopping, cocktails, and the royal mile. The rooms were on the tiny side and lacked a cooked breakfast option. The staff, especially the chambermaid, were accommodating and friendly. The dining experience offered a good mix of Scottish and European cuisine but was somewhat random. The outstanding location and friendly service compensated for the limited room size and breakfast choices.

Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were cozy and clean, offering a lovely view of the gardens, including an ice rink and carousel. Across the road, there were iconic stores like Louis Vuitton and Harvey Nichols.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were small and basic but very clean, although tiny and claustrophobic. The rain hitting the metal roof outside made it hard to sleep, which was not the hotel's fault. The service was a bit inconsistent - the staff were friendly but seemed unorganized at times. The location was perfect for exploring the city with easy access to shops, restaurants, and transportation. The dining experience was decent, with a good variety of breakfast options but the breakfast room was often crowded. Overall, it was an adequate stay, albeit slightly cramped and overpriced for what it offered.

I stayed at the hotel and had a mix of experiences. The room, though nicely decorated with quirky touches and a very comfortable bed, was a bit noisy due to its location on the 3rd floor overlooking St Andrews Park. The layout of the old building made it a bit compact and difficult to access, plus there was no parking available next to the hotel. The service was exceptional, especially after a long drive from the Highlands, and the staff was friendly, efficient, and very helpful. The location was bustling, offering a good view of St Andrews Square but could benefit from better organization. Overall, the hotel is worth another visit despite some noise issues in the room.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not as great as I expected initially, with a slight sweaty smell upon arrival, but they redeemed themselves with a very large balcony and stunning views of the firth of Forth.

The location was a definite highlight, being close to all amenities and offering easy access to various attractions in Edinburgh. The dining experience, while offering a good selection and catering to special dietary needs, was slightly marred by the small reception area.
