I truly enjoyed convenient placing of Wi-Fi, a storage, and coffee in the suite. The location was marvellous with a theatre and a gallery very close to the hotel. I walked everywhere in Edinburgh and casinos and eateries were very close to the place.

The units were cheap and the staff were enthusiastic people on behalf of his manager. The setting was wonderful, close enough to old town and the tram to the airport right in front of the door, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, and the main shopping street. Also, such main attraction as an interactive science museum was 2 km from this hotel.
