Good and appetising meals. Very good service and magnificent location adjacent to all major attractions, restaurants & local supermarkets as well as the George Square gardens which was nicely setup for kids to play during the fringe and was also host to a number of shows suitable for young children.

This nicely decorated hotel worth its 4 stars, everything was very good. The room was bright and we loved a large bed. It had central location close to Queen's Hall. The property was in a shopping area, really close to central Edinburgh as well as local supermarkets.
