text: Gorgeous and historic but a little underwhelmednnI booked this hotel for our recent stay when I located a half off deal on Pricelinecom The reviews were great and the location was perfect The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous but the hallways and rooms are in real need of updating and repair The lighting and walls of the hallways just seemed to give off a dirty old feel The room itself was a bit better but was just really tiny and set up oddly The bathroomthe bathroomI hated that bathroom The shower curtain fought with me everytime I showered and I almost fell out of the tub once as the surface is so slickthough they do provide a rubber mat for the bottom However they do provide you with Salvatore Ferragamo toiletriesa nice touchnnThe location however is perfect We walked to everything and only took a cab to and from the airport The hotel sits in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle and the views are amazingnnI would like to see the hotel once it has been rehabbedI can just imagine how brilliant it will be
