Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a cozy stay at this hotel despite the room having no window, just a skylight without blackout facilities, making it a bit too tiny for my liking. On the bright side, the room had good facilities and a convenient couch. The service was exceptional, although a tad pricey. The location was quite convenient, not far from the town center and within walking distance of Edinburgh city center, had it not been for the tram works. The dining experience was lovely with homemade bread, and the facilities were sufficient for a pleasant stay.
The hotel is very close to the city center of Edinburgh and offers a convenient location for exploring the area. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, although some may find the lack of natural light a bit off-putting. The service is friendly and efficient, making my stay pleasant overall. However, the dining options could be more varied, and the presence of organic fruits was a nice touch. The facilities are up to par, providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay at a reasonable price.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the center of Edinburgh and within walking distance of the city center. The rooms, although small with just a skylight and no window, offer good facilities and a cozy couch. The dining experience features Iberian products. Overall, a comfortable stay with some limitations.
