Edinburgh hotels near The Scotch Whisky Experience

Cons: The light level in the room was so subdued that it was difficult to see inside your suitcase. Other than that no complaints at all.

Cons: The front desk staff should care about the wellbeing of their customers. Poorly trained and inconsiderate.

Cons: Rooms are too small

Cons: Niggly maintenance issues eg door handles broken, shower pulsed hot and cold, noisy plumbing

Cons: No coffee or non caloric sweetener in room

Cons: the cold shower on Saturday and Sunday that was not fun. If you are going to charge premium price than it better be a premium hotel. It certainly not a 4 star hotel given the maintenance of their equipment. They need to replace the boiler, I heard it was not the first time they only had cold showers

Cons: Looking a bit tired. Desk in room had big scratch on it. Also, on a previous stay breakfast was on the top floor which was lovely. This time we were in the lower part of the ground floor restaurant. The continental breakfast choice was quite poor considering the price. The toast was merely warmed up bread and coffee wasn't particularly hot. My elderly parents in their 80s, who were also staying, were unable to shower as they couldn't get in or out of the very steep sided bath.

Cons: The location is a little further from the city center than I initially anticipated, but it wasn't a huge problem. It was about a 15-20 minute walk to the Edinburgh Castle and 20-30 if walking at a brisk pace to George St, Princes St, etc. where all the shops are. There isn't much to do around the hotel itself, particularly at night - it seems like a business neighborhood + convention center next door.

Cons: Bedroom was irritating. Numerous lightbulbs flickered. There was a sewer smell in the room when we arrived. There was air leakage at our window which caused cold draughts all night and meant we heard everything going on in the service yard below which disturbed my sleep. The heating/ air system was poor and the room was either too stiff or cold and I had to keep getting up to change the controls. Hotel was very quiet too, why they gave us this room was strange or thoughtless.

Cons: 1. For a royal mile suite, main bathroom was standard. Overly spacious living room really could’ve spared space for a more comfortable bathroom befitting suite. 2. Website advertised kids eat free. However, when we ordered meals for the kids via room service, we were told it’s not free. Extremely deceptive and off putting of brand. 3. I emailed the hotel 1 week in advance of 4-day stay and asked for milk, orange juice, and water in room stocked and included room mini fridge. Email from customer service acknowledged request and even confirmed we still wanted wine and beer - a nice catch! However, when we arrived, we were informed juice and milk not included. False service promise should’ve not been made. Room service food was Not worth price (pizza, burger, and kids chicken meal were only ok but far more expensive than eaterery options all around).

Cons: There was a refurb going on so had to put up with constant drilling was not relaxing

Cons: In-hotel gym was temporarely out of service bu the hotel offered a free entry at a partner gym

Cons: The fridges were dirty and the carpets could do with new ones

Cons: Can't think of anything

Cons: It's bloody cloudy in Scotland- spent an entire week and didn't see the sun once.

Cons: There seems to be an active nightlife very nearby.

Cons: Unfortunately, while the hotel is nicely situated for tourists, the neighborhood is a little sketchy. Lots of closed businesses, pole dancing school (?) and generally run-down.

Cons: The window didn't close properly, allowing cold air in.

Cons: Room view.

Cons: Cannot fault anything.

Cons: We stayed in two different rooms. The second room had a bathroom that needed some work. It was clean, but some towel bars were showing rust, and the tile needed to be re-caulked.
