A very friendly hotel for families with small children. We stayed here for 5 days (Friday through Tuesday nights). Although the other reviewers' comments about current construction on the Grassmarket (starts around 8 am, ends before 6), and the loud and rowdy bar denizens (on Thursday through Saturday nights; other nights were much quieter) are true, the location, view (if you get a room facing the Grassmarket), and the amenities for children are unbeat in my experience. A free little ducky in the shower, a gift bag for my 5-yr-old kid, a free kids DVD rental, and free kids meals in the restaurant if the parents are eating too! Plus free Internet for mom & dad. Our room was spacious, with 2 double beds and a large bathroom with real modern shower (and not one of those annoying hand-held things found in so many British hotels). There was even a refrigerator so we could store yogurt, juice and the like for breakfast (important b/c the hotel's breakfast is not so great, read on). However, I would not recommend the breakfast. The restaurant staff is poorly trained & makes many mistakes, & the food is mediocre. The food at other meals is better although the staff is equally unskilled. There are plenty of other options for eating elsewhere within walking distance, so just pass on the reates that include breakfast and you'll be fine. As for the hills, if you don't like walking up & down hills, Edinburgh is not your town!

Tesco for breakfast

We stayed here after our wedding for one night. How I wished I had read some of the reviews before we booked.The receptionist was the first point of frustration when it took 20 minutes to get our key so that I could go and get changed.The room was nice enough but small. When we arrived for breakfast the next morning we were ignored by the staff the vegetarian option was cold watery scrambled egg and when tea was requested twice it was tea that tasted strongly of black coffee! Toast was a real problem and what we were offered was brown bread in a toast rack. When we asked for it to be done again we were told the machine burns it if you put it through twice so 15 minutes later we had the same brown bread brought back to the table. Being situated just outside the kitchen door we could hear the staff making derogatory comments about us and another person who had also dared to ask for more tea.When we complained and wrote our comments they were not passed on. When we phoned nobody got back to us. We would thouroughly recommend NOT staying here but if you do go to Tesco for breakfast the staff are friendly helpful and know how to make toast.
