Room clean and cosy . Staff excellent. Breakfast well prepared with adequate variety ,sadly , mostly on the cold side. Only one choice of eggs , which leads me to believe that they are of the powdered variety.A grand building , with loads of character, in a great area , beautifuly furnished reception area .

"Web site does not represent the hotel "

At the time of writing this review I am still at the hotel. When I booked the hotel the restaurant was open in the evenings, the web site is still saying this. I arrived at the hotel to be told that the restaurant was only open for breakfast! To late for me to change hotel. I get to the room and find the TV does not work. Every day of my stay, 4 days, I have enquired about a repair only to be told it is a supplier issue. On the day before I am due to leave I am greeted by an employee at reception, who tells me in a very rude and unprofessional manner there is nothing he can do so speak to the manager, he is next in on Monday, 2 days time and I will have left the hotel. 1. The hotel did not supply what I booked, 2. The manner in which the last person spoke to me was rude and unreasonable. This let down the other staff members who were really good and helpful.

"Sad let down"

Nice hotel, good location, poor management. Cleaning seems optional all over the hotel. They had no food facilities except for breakfast. My room was cold. My door did not lock from the inside and was next to a stairwell so I did not feel secure at night. Staff were pleasant and helpful

"Disappointing."

on arrival we had no washbasin plug,reported this to reception, which was replaced by a plug that did not fit, so water escapedquickly but we put up with it!!! We were out and about from 915am to 3 30 pm on Nov. 2nd and returned to an unmade bed, reception said that housekeeking had finished for the day!!! This is a 4 star hotel!!! Disappointing.

"Great hotel- a little too far out "

Great hotel. Attentive staff although it`s a little too far out. Busses were great but too far to walk to centre. Accommodation was good but sofa bed for children very uncomfortable and squeaked.

"Heat "

The thermostat in our room was not working properly for 1 day. When I asked for another room, they did not have one and provided a space heater. The space heater was ok for a while but a a risk to have on all night. The hotel was unable to get in contact with the maintenance people because it was a weekend. While the staff on duty were kind and supportive it would not be a place I would frequent again, especially coming from so far away. We did not receive new towels after housekeeping ?cleaned?, our tissues were out and we did not get any new and when I called about our phone I was advised someone would come up and look at, but no one did and we were there for 3 nights/4days.

"Excellent hotel"

The hotel was quiet, well-located, comfortable, served great breakfasts, had friendly and helpful staff and was extremely clean. One small niggle was that the bedroom windows didn`t open and the airconditioning either defaulted onto very warm temperatures or was put at high settings by cleaning staff. As a result we twice woke up feeling very warm and uncomfortable.A few more TV channels would have been appreciated.

"Room decor and layout good and nice view"

Great looking hotel externally and internally, with well turned-out staff. Clean throughout all areas. Top floor roof level room not so good, due to continual humming, sounding like roof mounted apparatus in operation. It was a bit like being under a laundry room all night long.

Nice big room, very quiet and comfortable bed. Housekeeping didn`t replenish the tea and left us without a spoon. Not that a big deal. Breakfast was nice but service slow as far as keeping the buffet going. One coffee machine working however in the last day, different staff and everything went smoothly including two coffee machines but also filtered as well. Would stay again, area superb

"very clean ., which is needed in covid times."

We enjoyed our stay, at the Crown Plaza, breakfast very good fresh cooked to your choice, there was a good choice. would stay agin. the only thing I was dissapointed with there we no shower caps in the bathroom, so it was difficult to shower properly as I havent to get water in my ears, usually hotels have throw away shower caps.

"A truly memorable weekend break"

Hotel was beautifully designed and so clean. We loved the finishing touches for our furry friends such as a relaxing bed for them in the hallway. The staff were really friendly, professional and helpful and a big thank you to Scott for his advice on where to go and booking our underground experience. We are all looking forwards to visiting edinburgh again and the Crowne Plaza.

"Noisy heating system "

We were placed in basement of hotel on entering room was a nice surprise Room was clean and tidy but we noticed a noise coming from the hotels heating system Which kept us both up at night We asked to change rooms further above but first one had a problem with the toilet constantly flushing The second one heating wasn`t working at all plus noise wasn`t a great deal less than the first so they supplied us with ear plugs and we remained in original room can`t fault staff as the were great

"Expected better"

Delayed check in time of over one hour. No meaningful apologies given from staff, just something about a VIP group had arrived and rooms having to be reorganised. All in all would have expected better service from this hotel group. Really quite unaccepted.

"Room only so no big comments"

The room was good with a great view over the Forth, though the down side was a bit of noise from cars going over the cobbles.
