The venue was incredibly beautiful, I thoroughly enjoyed the stay and the location was ideal not far from Centre of Edinburgh and different attractions. My room was reasonably spacious and the bed was extremely comfy. The personnel was very welcoming and pleasant, and the host too. The breakfast had a wide array of coffee, tea, toast, cereals, and eggs. I had a very relaxing time.

The stay here was wonderful which was disruptive at night. The breakfast had a wide array of options, including coffee, tea, toast, cereals, and eggs. We were in a marvellous and perfect location really close to centre of the city and supermarket. Moreover, there was a lake within 35 mins walk from the hotel.

Really enjoyed my fairly nice stay which was disruptive at night. Everyone was pleasant and the room was reasonably spacious and huge. They offered me coffee, tea, toast, cereal and eggs in the morning. Its location was great and perfect still close to city center served by multiple bus lines. Easily reached Kwok Restaurant, located at a walking distance from the hotel, had lunch/dinner there.

Everything is good here, had a fairly nice stay which was disruptive at night. It has ideal, decent setting, very close to frequent buses and a good local transport system, Calton Hill, and the town centre. There's cool Beetroot Sauvage just a short stroll away from the hotel, make desserts etc. Spacious and huge rooms complete with shared bath, heating, for instance. The staff are very welcoming, and the host too. You can have coffee, tea, toast, cereal, and eggs for breakfast.
