We asked for a view of the castle which we got, however, the bedroom window was tiny and difficult to see anything through. The bathroom window was bigger but the scaffolding was in front of it and at 8:30am the workers reported for duty and started working right in front of it and began hammering away! Surprise! The shower has... More

Only 5 minutes walk from Waverley Station and on Princes Street, this is a brilliant place to stay. Our room was spacious and comfortable, the staff helpful and pleasant and the restaurant excellent for both breakfast (lots of choice and freshly cooked) and dinner. The views of the castle from the restaurant are superb and the level of the cuisine... More

We had our wedding here a few weeks ago and stayed in the Ramsay Suite on the night of the wedding and the Saturday night too. What a view! Everything was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The meal was superb and everyone has said how good the buffet was. The breakfasts were really good also. Can't... More

Even though the hotel is being refurbished - we had a great view of the castle but we couldn't see much out of the window - it was a lovely spacious twin room, clean crisp bedlinen and big white towels..... Breakfast on the first day wasn't great but was much improved the second morning. Lots of choice though - The... More

We stayed at the ROSL in December,2012 when Edinburgh was in the grip of (being from the South coast) arctic conditions. We were supplied with a convector heater as the radiators were not working which made the air very dry but was warm enough. The breakfast was ok, though not as good as last time I stayed and if you... More

Loved my overnight stay in this Hotel. The staff were lovely and very helpfull, breakfast excellent and the room was good with a view overlooking the Castle. If you are looking for a city centre location then this Hotel is a great choice, we really couldn't fault it.

Just returned from a one night stay today using an itison voucher. Excellent value for money located right in middle princes street. We had a front facing room view of castle but as previous reviews stated was obscured by scaffolding which is meant to be finished by June.We were given a set three course menu which was included in the...

What a lovely curious hotel....almost like a strange time warp. Location location location....who needs that nasty old horseless carriage when you are within 5 min walk of waverley train station...and if you bother to research your intended accwomodation they advertise clearly that car parking is unavailable and unwarranted...the staff were perfecly polite and the food wonderful. The building has a... More

In the middle of Prince's Street so great for shopping, sightseeing, etc. Airport bus stop about 50 metres from the door. Unfortunately they have taken away the one which was almost opposite the hotel for the return trip and it now involves a walk to outside Waverley station, about 6-700 metres. IF they ever finish the trams hopefully there will... More
