Jose

Disliked: Amenities
Rooms on the lower ground are very poor quality paid £400 per night. I know is the festival but the prices are far to high. Breakfast at the hotel is ok but nothing special. Paid £24 for breakfast for each day. Take note Breakfast in the hotel is £17.50 So Expedia that is quite an over priced on your website.

An outstanding lodging property with the highest representation of Old-World tradition, Scottish charm and social grace. A rich, unique heritage and glowing patina envelopes this Georgian masterpiece. Close to everything. Dining at the club is an experience of delicious old-school cookery and hospitality. Immaculate, quiet elegance coupled with unmatched service - thank you Miss Georgia - make a stay at the RSC a superb choice when in Edinburgh.
