I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were central, well presented, clean, and modern, making my stay very comfortable in a great location. However, the room was a bit small and somewhat depressing. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very helpful and approachable. The location was perfect, within easy walking distance of everything I wanted to do in Edinburgh. The dining experience was second to none, offering an endless supply of coffee and toast. Overall, a fantastic experience with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel rooms were comfortable and well-appointed, but our check-in experience was disappointing compared to our previous visit. The staff, especially Chris, were very friendly and helpful. The location was convenient for walking to attractions, although the area outside was a bit run down. The dining options provided everything we needed, but the rooms weren't ready when we arrived. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and challenges.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, spiffy clean, and had a nice kitchen with some basic supplies, located away from the main building in a separate apartment block, accessed via the car park. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was excellent, perfectly suited for our group, close to the city center and old town attractions. The dining experience was delightful with complimentary bread, milk, juice, and butter. Overall, a great value for money!
