I had high hopes for my stay at the Edinburgh Grosvenor Hotel, but those hopes were dashed by the overall experience. While the hotel's location was a big plus, offering easy access to the city center, everything else fell short. The room I was given showed clear signs of neglect, with cleanliness issues that made it uncomfortable. Unfortunately, my experience left more to be desired, especially regarding the dining quality and service quality during my visit.

Breakfast had potential but was let down by the overall quality. The sandwiches during afternoon tea were unremarkable, and some items seemed to be store-bought. Overall, dining needs improvement to match the expectations of a hotel of this caliber.

Facilities like the bar were lacking, with air conditioning running excessively cold during a winter visit. More attention should be given to the upkeep of these areas to enhance guest satisfaction.
