Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location of this hotel was perfect for walking distance to many of the Edinburgh sites. It was easy to get to from the airport by taking the tram. The only thing I would have liked was a bigger room and view that wasn't overlooking the heating units and rooftops of other buildings. The staff was wonderful, the breakfast was delightful, and I would definitely stay here again.
