4.0 star ratingHotel looks very good and clean Staff not so friendly especially the receptionist ZULU 119 December 2012
5.0 star ratingThe Edward Hotel is by any measure a class act. The service was excellent; the room was first class and the breakfast was a couple of notches better than the usual standard 5-star hotel experience. I shall also comment on Trip-AdvisorThe only weakness was that the bath looked a little tired - and the shower button did not work effectively.Dave Steward13 May 2013
