I booked the Holyrood Hotel in Edinburgh through the expedia site. The main reason I chose this hotel was because it had a spa and swimming pool. When we got there we were informed that there are refurbishment works ongoing and that the spa, swimming pool and leisure facilities could not be used throughout the duration of my stay. This was not stated on the expedia site. Not only that, the noise disturbance since 8am every morning until 5pm every evening was terrible. The workmen were refurbishing bedrooms on the floor above. There was a skip outside my bedroom window that the old furniture etc was being thrown into from the floor above, again this was very noisy. The workmen also parked at the back outside the window. I booked a king room and instead of a king size bed it was 2 single beds pushed together, it was very uncomfortable. I stayed for 5 nights to get away for some rest from a busy home and work life and i got very little sleep due to the mattress and the noise both inside and out the hotel. I will not be staying here again nor will I be booking through Expedia again.

Nice enough hotel but the room was cold, heating didn’t work. Its a little run down and needs renovation. They had some renovation works ongoing whilst I stayed so I suspect it will be very nice once the works are completed.
