"Just one word - Regal"

10.0

The property is the most magnificent building in Edinburgh. The staff went out of their way to make our stay very comfortable. They helped us in getting a doctor when my baby became unwell there - thank you. Thank you also for the lovely baby welcome gifts, they made my daughter very happy :). Rooms were large and very comfortable. We will be back :)

"Excellent location and wonderful staff"

9.0

The location and staff

Confusion surrounding my booking which included breakfast. After they confirmed that it was sorted out I still received an account for breakfast costs. This was then removed and they advised me that there was a discretionary service charge of 12,5 % which you could not in all fairness ask them to remove. If we were made aware of this at the beginning we would have elected to exercise our discretion to pay the waiter directly.

Beautiful building, very comfortable bed close to station.

Over priced and Some of the staff were rude and I didn’t like the fact service charge was added to the bill at the end.
