The hotel is well situated for tourist sites. It is easy to get to from the station.
Pros:

Breakfast choice is very good. The gym has sufficient fitness machines to meet our needs. The staff were polite and the rooms were serviced adequately.

Cons:

Not a lot you can do about the location. Whilst great for the Royal Mile, the night club in the adjacent street was open to 3am with loud customers leaving the premisies.
