Liked the room with a fabulous breakfast, my bed was exceptionally comfortable. I had an electric kettle and glassware. The location was central, close enough to many sights and restaurants, a restaurant, and the USB port on the TV. Besides, Staines Moor Country Park was 4 km away from the venue.

Absolutely fabulous and incredible place to stay 3 km away from a cantilevered observation wheel. Extraordinary & stunning rooms with champagne, 4-poster-very comfortable-bed, as example. Traditional breakfast at 5:45, nice staff. The brilliant location for the price, short walk to the airport, plants growing inside and Parliament and Holyrood Palace.

I loved staying at this brand-new hotel because of the elegant ambience. I was offered a large breakfast at 5:45. The personnel were exceptionally helpful and made me feel welcome. Central location was a plus. It was a historic area, an amazing base for me.
Wi-Fi signal was very weak, made me a little nervous.

Loved the deluxe suite I had with a draped bed and champagne plus the cooked breakfast. The food at the restaurant was nice. This location was stunning, close enough to the castle, along the Royal Mile in Old Town and the Royal Mile steps from Edinburgh Castle in Old Town. The hotel took care of the top-notch service. Lucky me, got ironing free of charge too.

I do recommend this place and would stay here again. The breakfast is traditional, and the location is incredible really close to the beautiful old town, ample bars, restaurants and shops, and a cobbled alleyway, through an iron gate and up a spiral stone staircase. Their rooms are always quiet and gorgeous with breakfast in, ice, as for instance.
