- old and need facelift hotel
- in August 10
The price was right, especially if you purchase in advance - had I purchased even earlier, I could have cut £10 from my tariff (I've only just discovered this) - sadly, I couldn't as I had to wait for my meeting to be confirmed.

- hateful first impression
- high price
- in February 10
However, I made the mistake of pre-booking, which meant I was given the worst room in the whole hotel: a basement with no natural light, no wifi signal and hardly room to swing a cat --- and of course I'd already paid so wasn't free to move on.

- uncomfortable feeling
Room
- in August 10
The room was a good size, the bed comfortable, and the shower effective (I'm funny about showers) and the hotel is certainly conveniently located.

A quick search online led me to the Royal British Hotel, conveniently located immediately opposite Waverley train station, right in the centre of Edinburgh on Princes Street.
