Positive: On arrival the castle hotel looked magnificent just what we expected, private parking in the court yard was excellent. The location for the hotel was perfectly situated to get into Edinburgh and surrounding places of interest. All the hotel staff were great, very friendly, helpful and respectful, our evening meal in the restaurant was well cooked and the fish was exceptionally tasty -really enjoyable. We came for the Edinburgh Tattoo Festival so staying here was a bonus.
Negative: Disappointed with our room compared to the images on the website, not a true representation of what we expected. Room in need of a little TLC. On our first morning we had the cooked breakfast which was average, pale cooked sausage and bacon, the scrambled eggs were on the cold side - toast was good. I don't mean to pick holes but for the price we paid we thought it would be a lot better, that said it didn't spoil our experience or stay at The Melville Castle Hotel.
Summary: Enjoyable stay, hotel staff were 100%, disappointed with our room, not what we expected.
