My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were cosy and comfortable, just what you need after a long day of exploring. The staff are fantastic, providing loads of information to 1st time visitors and offering a fantastic breakfast menu. The location is amazing, easy to get the bus to the city center, and the dining experience was delicious. However, I was a bit disappointed by the noise from some other room which was very embarrassing and annoying.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The room may have been a bit small, but it was certainly not a negative. I enjoyed the big window and the very clean and comfortable big bed. Although the room looked a bit tired, it was quiet and impeccably clean. The service was outstanding, with some of the friendliest people I've encountered in my travels. The location was perfect, close to the city center and Calton Hill, yet nestled in a peaceful neighborhood. The dining experience was superb, with a lovely dining room and a plentiful cooked-to-order menu. Overall, a great value for money.
