The breakfast was outstanding and very very good and the parking was outside. The room was new-fashioned and huge, and with an outstanding view to the Holyrood park. The location was great, for example, a public research university was at a walking distance from the hotel. And the area was great, short walk to the conference centre, transport to central Edinburgh and the Salisbury Crags and Arthurs Seat.
