    The hotel is absolutely fantastic, the rooms, sexy , exciting , beautiful and luxurious ( we were in the mid sized room) The treat me like I'm famous package is well worth the money, the cocktail bar, although small, was cosy , sexy and the cocktails absolutely exquisite. The staff were polite and very helpful. The hotel was clean and although, (especially after a couple of drinks) the corridors seemed to never end and appeared to constantly change, it added to the sheer enjoyment of the place and experience The location of the hotel is excellent , maybe 8 minutes from Waverley train station and just off the centre of the royal mile with a 8 minute slow walk to the castle and literally 3 minutes from all the bars and restaurants. We are booking to go back, yet this time I will be booking the suite as I am intrigued to see and bathe in the roll top bath
