Hudsons Bar, The Hudson Hotel, EH2 4EL, Edinburgh

Hudson's is a hotel, bar, restaurant AND a club.

The bar charges expensive George Street prices but fails to reach the same standard as competition such as Tigerlily and the Living Room.

It attracts a mixed crowd on a weekend - some suits but also the hairdresser and stag party crowd too... Not so great.

Food is mediocre and pretty basic (I wouldn't visit here for the food alone). The dessert menu is poor. Despite the food being basic it is tasty (if a little over-priced). The staff, on the other hand, are extremely friendly and very attentive.

The club is dingy and usually quiet - not worth a visit really. However, I would consider hiring the club out for a private function or party because they offer great deals and it is the perfect size - ideal for a birthday party or work event.

I think there are about 30 hotel rooms in total - they are very modern and all vary in size costing approximately £100 per room per night. Receptionists are always happy to help with any problems you may have.

Overall: decor and staff are great. However, it is quite expensive and food is pretty basic. I think Hudson's would do a lot better if it tried to be more unique and stopped trying to compete with the likes of Tigerlily.
