The staff was so helpful carrying our suitcases up two floors and welcoming me with a happy birthday plate! The location is wonderful--walking distance to the university and the fringe festival. We actually returned to the Black Ivy on our last night before flying back home. The breakfasts were yummy. The park view was a nice bonus.
The first place we stayed, the junior suite, was comfortable. The smaller room we stayed in the last night was beautiful but crowded.

The staff were friendly and the rooms were clean.
The bar restaurant customers take precedence so you can’t even get a table to sit outside unless you book a meal. The noise on a weekend is significant from the bar customers. The priority is made clear; we had to get around a coat rack that was left in front of the door to the rooms to go to bed. The bed was so uncomfortable I ended up trying to sleep on the floor at one point. There is no actual reception so you are never sure who you should talk to. The decor in the rooms is a bit tatty, between the weird framed pictures of semi naked women everywhere and the aged bathroom decor (with bits of adhesive left stuck on the wall) it doesn’t feel like a high quality hotel. After a day of tromping around Edinburgh city you don’t have anywhere chilled to relax as the bar gets totally slammed on the weekend. The staff are friendly and competent which is the best thing about the hotel. Overall I think the rooms are best for people who have drunk too much and need somewhere to crash.
