Nice property in flexible location
Pros:

Really nicely appointed property in a decent location. Location was great for us - we wanted to be close to Royal Mile but also walking distance to the new town as well. Great if you want to go up Calton Hill.

Cons:

A little bit difficult to navigate to from the nearby restaurants up a steep hill. Facilities were nice without being fantastic. Staff were reasonably accommodating but seemed bound by procedures.

A beautiful hotel, lovely lounge area to relax. Unacceptable mess of broken glass from neighbouring bar just before entr
Pros:

Lovely friendly staff, very welcoming, comfortable lounge, large bedroom with seating area and stunning views. Very comfortable. Really love this hotel.

Cons:

If you’re on the upper floors, no lift to 3/4 it was ok for me but would have struggled with a heavier suitcase. The hotel is off the main road, a bit of a dark lane to walk to entrance where people from the nearby restaurant were out smoking and lots of broken glass lying around on both nights.

Great spot. Highly recommend.

Great location. Quiet and comfortable room, really well laid out.

Varma rekommendationer.
Pros:

Personalen var alla supertrevliga och tillmötesgående. Rummet var städat och fint. Fint med både vatten och kakor i rummet. Badrummet är fint och rent. De bytte handdukar och fyllde på allt varje dag. Sängen var superskön. Sov som om jag var hemma. Det byggdes bredvid hotellet men inget som hördes förutom mitt på dagen och jag var sällan på rummet då. Promenadavstånd till det mesta. Varmaste rekommendationer!

Cons:

Aningens kallt på rummet. Passade mig, men kanske inte alla.
