My stay was really comfortable for two nights. The staff were amicable and really polite and the location was excellent in the heart of Edinburgh. Further, it was very close to the center, the theatre, and the centre of Edinburgh.
Ordered breakfast, it was basic, it should be way much better, really.

Attentive staff and well heated rooms with large double bed, modern bathroom, for example. Perfectly fine facilities. Decent location, a 10-15 minute walking distance from an official residence. Found in the very nice area really close to waverly railway station, downtown and airport tram and restaurants and Waverly station...
