Overnight stay
Pros:

Location: Beautiful boutique hotel in New Town area and extremely quiet.
Parking: right outside (free at the weekends).
Staff: great.
Room: We were in the Junior suite room which was perfect for us especially with free room upgrade, really spacious & comfortable.
Breakfast: great choices.

Cons:

Minor things: 1. No where to plug the kettle in apart from on the floor, a longer cable or a little table at the side near a plug might be better. 2.The controls on the jacuzzi bath weren't working, power to control panel but pressing the buttons didn't do anything.

Lovely stay would go again
Pros:

Lovely hotel in a quiet location was very comfortable & great food

Cons:

Would have liked a lounge area with sofas to sit on with a drink. There was a dining area & bar but think they could put a few sofas /chairs near bar

Excellent!
Pros:

Our rooms had a fantastic view, clean and equipped bathrooms. The staff was extremely accommodating and the location fantastic!

Cons:

It was not an issue for me personally; however, please note that there is no elevator and, to my knowledge, no accessible means for individuals with mobility challenges to reach the upper floors. Additionally, I would suggest adding more hooks in the bathroom to improve convenience for towel hanging, as there were only two available in my unit. Lastly, I kindly suggest cleaning or replacing the windows (crystals), as they are not in optimal condition; the glass appears dirty / scratched.

Perfect location, super friendly staff, would stay again and recommend to anyone!
Pros:

The hotel gave a lot of attention to our special trip. We got engaged and staff were very helpful in organising extras!

Cons:

It was pretty faultless! The building is hot and we caught during some high temperatures, but the fan we had was sufficient
