Thoroughly enjoyed the room except for the blind over the window which allowed a view of anyone using the toilet, my bed was quiet. Polite service, as the staff were calm. It was in a marvellous location near a circus and a zoo.

Relaxing good basic property with superbly friendly and really polite staff at the reception desk. Ideal location in the very comfortable area, really close to New Town, many surrounding attractions and shops, restaurants and landmarks. Again, not far from a spirelike Victorian memorial.

Food was reasonably priced and I have nothing but really nice memories from this trip. Stayed for 2 nights, the hotel was superior and fairly clean, it had great and lovely location on the last tram stop-made travelling to-and-from the airport. Staff were amiable, room was generous-sized and functional with twin beds. The service provided there was good.
As for me, the area was very busy.

We loved drinks and location, this hotel had everything we need. An iron, an electronic key card and a writing desk in the room were an advantage. The venue's setting was central...
A bit noisy street.
