My stay at Rooms & Suites Picardy Place was a good experience, especially with the stunning Loch Shiel grand master suite. The exquisite bathroom amenities made my stay comfortable, although the central location came with some noise during the night. Overall, the hotel lived up to its impressive online presence and was perfect for exploring Edinburgh.

The Loch Shiel grand master suite was stunning with high ceilings and sophisticated furnishings. The large bathroom featured a luxurious double-ended bath and a rainfall shower. However, there were minor issues such as stains in the bath and a disconnect with the Wi-Fi.

The hotel boasts a fantastic central location, just a two-minute walk from tram stops and right across from the Playhouse Theatre. This made my sightseeing incredibly convenient, though the nightlife noise was noticeable at times.

Although I didn't dine at the Steak restaurant this time, the menu looked very appealing. I was impressed with the intimate bar that offered a great selection of cocktails, including a good whiskey sour.

Facilities

The facilities included a stylish bar and a variety of room options, although there was no room service or breakfast offered. The lack of parking was also a bit inconvenient, costing me £17 per night in the NCP across the street.

My stay at Rooms & Suites Picardy Place was quite a rollercoaster! The stylish decor and great location enriched my experience, especially being just across from The Playhouse. However, I did face some discomfort due to the heat in my room and the lack of high-quality toiletries, which brought the experience down slightly. I'd love to come back, especially since it’s a chic place that offers a lot of potential! 🌟

I had a good two-day stay at Rooms & Suites Picardy Place in Edinburgh. The location was superb, just a short walk from tourist attractions, enhancing my overall experience. However, my room faced a noisy outdoor area, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Still, I appreciated the unique decor and spaciousness of the rooms.

My stay at Rooms & Suites Picardy Place in Edinburgh was a mixed bag. The stylish decor and spacious room were impressive, but a series of issues dampened the experience. From awkward check-in to a chilly room without functioning entertainment, I found myself longing for more attention to detail.

I had a lovely stay at Rooms & Suites Picardy Place, thanks largely to its fantastic location just a short walk from the station and close to various attractions in Edinburgh. The staff were friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. However, I did experience some minor inconveniences with the bathroom amenities and a few layout quirks in my room that made my experience less than perfect. Overall, it was a nice visit, particularly given the charm of the hotel.

The Loch Ness room was beautiful with high ceilings and a stunning mural of Eilan Donan castle. However, I found the placement of mirrors and plugs inconvenient for getting ready, and the limited toiletries (only shampoo, no conditioner) was a bit disappointing.
