I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, as it was close to the city center and within walking distance to many attractions. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with clean and well-fitted rooms. The highlight for me was the unique feature of having my own turret with stunning views. The staff, especially the receptionist Neil, were incredibly helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious and the free WiFi was a bonus. Parking was also available, making it convenient for those with a vehicle.

Nothing. All aspects of my stay were excellent.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The building itself is stunning, with charming Scottish character. The interior design is well-done, with bold colors and beautiful marble bathrooms in the rooms. The atmosphere of the hotel is historic and calming, creating a unique experience. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful, allowing us to store our luggage before and after our stay. The bed in our room was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, and the buffet breakfast offered a variety of tasty options, including fresh fruit.

Hard to think of anything.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The cleanliness of the room was impressive, and the bathroom looked brand new. The shower had fantastic water pressure, which is not always the case in lower rated accommodations. The location was perfect for me, as it was not far from the city centre and right on the main bus route. Additionally, being close to the park was a bonus, as I could easily enjoy the outdoors and explore Arthur's Seat. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Cannot find any fault.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, as it was only a short walk from the bus stop and a half-hour walk to the city centre.

The buffet breakfast was delicious, with a wide selection of tasty food, including fresh fruit. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, from the large and clean bathroom to the comfortable and spacious room. the hotel facilities were excellent, including the option to enjoy free tea or coffee in the beautiful rooms during the day.

Everything was fantastic.
