From the warm greeting to final goodbye it was a delightful stay at this hotel. The location is great for exploring Edinburgh on foot and by public transport. The room was comfortable and well supplied with inclusive treats which were restocked on a daily basis. Breakfast was bountiful and tasty. Totally recommend and looking forward to a return visit.
