Perfectly located & comfy hotel on the Royal Mile
This hotel was perfectly located. It is right on the central bit of the Royal Mile, close to the train station and a million things to do. It is a busy area and the hotel did provide ear plugs in our room, but even with a nightclub outside my bedroom window (I was on the 2nd floor) I didn’t need them. The double windows kept out any street sound. The staff were super helpful, especially at check in when they couldn’t find my reservation at first, which I think was a Hotels.com glitch, not the fault of the hotel itself. (We arrived on Sunday, and on Monday afternoon I got a notification from the Hotels.com app: “Get ready for your stay in Edinburgh!” Thought, “that’s concerning” and tapped on it and the app correctly showed that our stay started on Sunday, but it was weird.)

Excellent, will use again next time we come.
My wife and daughter had stayed at the Blue some years back when they came for the Xmas markets, so my wife recom we use you again, especially as you are so central to the old town. The staff in the lobby were very friendly and helpful when we had queries. The room was exceptional, a separate entrance hall, leading to a very large bedroom, bathroom and a second bedroom with 2 single beds. Being on the 6th floor we also had fantastic views. Overlooking the front you could see the Forth, from the side you could see up Old Town towards the Castle

Abysmal
Extremely disappointing. We did not receive the room we ordered and no attempt was made to resolve this. We were advised that the room type we booked was not available and no other rooms whatsoever. Subsequently as we were put in an accessible room our two young children could not have baths, we had to bend over to use the sink and the alarm cords kept being pulled by my 2 year old. To add to this the following morning the breakfast was abysmal, the food was over cooked, dry and my wife ordered an omelet which turned up burnt. Whilst a partial credit was offered as we had paid an inflated price for the room due to booking last minute they only credited down to what the room we had booked but did not receive usually was. Extremely disappointed, an underwhelming experience.

The property was in a great location. We just dont feel on our first stay we got the room/s we paid for. 2nd visit we had a nice big room and our family in the second room was an adjorning room. We should have had this for both visits. Very disappointed that there were no fridges in the room. We had to basically beg for one. I wouldnt rate them as 4 star rating. Not what we are used too.

Our experience was terrible. The pictures of the superior room were misleading. When I asked the staff why our room didn’t look like the spacious room in the picture I was told that there was only one room in 50 that looked like the picture. The room was advertised as having a coffee maker but there was none. Fridges are not standard in the rooms and you have to ask specifically. But they don’t tell you this. We found someone else’s underwear in our room on arrival (yuck) and housekeeping was poor. Heater and lights didn’t work properly and we had to call maintenance every night, The fire alarm went off 3 times in one day and we were all evacuated onto the streets in our sleepwear, No obvious fire. My son cut his foot on glass fragments on the floor. We were compensated with a complimentary bottle of wine, a pizza and serve of chips. DON’T waste your money staying here, Go elsewhere.
