The reputation and opulent surroundings are worth even a walk through of this fine old bar / hotel. It sits resplendent at the end of Princes Street. We have stayed here and had one of the best breakfast experiences in Edinburgh. The beer I had was reasonably priced at a smidgen under £5 which is in line with Tigerlily, Le Monde etc. However, my wife's latte was an eye watering £4.75. It was smaller in size than a medium cup / glass in any decent coffee house. To make matters worse, there was around 40% milk froth. No matter how pleasant the surroundings are, an almost £5 price tag for a standard coffee is absolutely unforgivable in Scotland, let alone anywhere else. The hotel is better than this and should seriously consider revising their prices.
