The double room didn't seem appealing on photos but it was well decorated with three beds. The service provided there was exceptional. Besides, the parking was nearby.

Nicely updated double room and the bed was extremely comfy. Coffee/tea making machines, a fridge and glassware were very handy. The staff were all super-friendly and amicable, which was unquestionably a plus. Location: the hotel was short walk to Royal Mile / Princes Street, museums, castle, shopping, restaurants and public transport or a 25 minute walk. Popped in The Old Bell Inn for shots before sleep, it was around 10-15 minutes walk from the venue👌

The idea to include coffee/tea making machines, a fridge and glassware in the double room was nice. And it had a lovely view of inner courtyard. We had an excellent service, delicious breakfast. We could use wake up service and ironing at no cost too.
