| 4.0 star rating | Hotel looks very good and clean | Staff not so friendly especially the receptionist | ZULU 1 | 19 December 2012 |
| 5.0 star rating | The 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-Advisor | The only weakness was that the bath looked a little tired - and the shower button did not work effectively. | Dave Steward | 13 May 2013 |
| 3.5 star rating | Online access didn't work after first day (and before all 1MB used). But staff provided tokens when requested. | 21 July 2013 | ||
| 1.0 star rating | 1. Unfriendly and unhelpful staff. 2. Noisy aircon. 3. Water on windowsill and broken window closers that don't close properly. 4. Dirty coffee station. 5. Faulty (flashing) lights in room. 6. No Wi-Fi signal. 7. Asked for non-smoking room and got a smoking room. 8. Fungus growing all over the bathroom. 9. Food quality not good and served with raw roast vegetables (at a premium). 10. Curtain fell off the rail. 11. Price tag and labels still on towels in bathroom. | gavinb | 06 December 2013 | |
