Great Hotel and Bar. Fraser the manager could not have been more helpful from first booking, arrival and generally making us feel really welcome and the breakfast was excellent. Rooms very comfortable and will most certainly be back. Thank you Fraser.

I stayed here with my wife for our wedding anniversary and we used a groupon voucher, which can cause dips in service, but not at Ricks. The staff couldn't be more helpful, the food was fantastic and the room was great too. Cant fault it. Hail Hail, Mon the Hoops.

Stayed at "Rick's Hotel" for one night. Staff were very friendly on arrival, Hannah in particular. Were shown to our twin room. I haven't stayed at the Cameron House Hotel, Loch Lomond before but my friend had, and she compared the room to that! Wow! The hotel is in a great location, a 5 minute walk from Rose Street and...

Stayed here recently while on a business trip. The staff were really superb, friendly and very helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. One of us is a vegetarian, and even on the smaller menu included in our deal, there were two beautiful and unusual choices. Lovely rooms, and great atmosphere in the bar/restaurant. Breakfast were again superb, including a full vegetarian... More

I was recently tempted into Rick's by promising advertising and imagery but was left very disappointed. Appearances can be deceptive. The starter was bland and the main was very basic in comparison to its description on the menu. The unnecessary presentation of food on wooden platters, slates and in various ceramic dishes was clearly an attempt to mask the poor... More

Booked on a 5pm deal and thought it was fab value. The room was very comfortable and although some furniture was slightly damaged (mentioned in previous review) it made no difference to our stay as it was cosmetic. Facilities in the room are great; hair dryer, ghd's, tea and coffee making, well stocked mini bar, ironing board etc. Few small... More

I came here with my group of ladies on my hen do & would recommend this hotel. Location is ideal on Fredrick street so ideal for Waverley Station, Princes Street, Hard Rock cafe, city bus tours etc. Staff were friendly; checking in and settling the bill on check out was easy and we had no problems. The rooms are very... More

Just arrived back from an overnight stay in this hotel. We stayed on the 'desk til dawn' offer in a twin room. When we were shown to our room we experienced a very bad smell, a smell that meant we wouldn't be able to sleep in the room that night. I spoke to reception and we were moved instantly. We... More

From the moment we were welcomed to the minute we left, we couldn't have asked for a better experience! We had not seen friends for nearly 2 years and chose Ricks as it is one of our favourites and knew our friends, from London, would love it just as much. Our waitress, sadly I have forgotten her name, was very... More

Had an overnight stay here on a 5pm.com deal and what a great deal it was - a night's accommodation, 3 course meal, a cocktail & full breakfast. From the minute we walked in the door the welcome & efficiency of the staff were the best I have ever experienced. Our room was on the second floor & really nice... More
