The location was magnificent and unbeatable as for me, short walk to the centre of Edinburgh, the train station and Princes Street and Leith and trams. The breakfast was well-stocked with options on York St and smoked salmon and frequently replenished.

Everything was well-maintained, polite staff, good views of overgrown and rundown garden from window. The location was great for first time visitors to Edinburgh. The area was beautiful next to the special attractions Edinburgh has to offer, good bars and eateries, and the terminal.
