The service, including laundry facilities, was top-notch. The location was so convenient, close to the rail station. However, the dining lacked homegrown organic fruits, and the facilities could be more modern.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, just across the road from the Potrait gallery and with a whole garden just outside the door. The rooms were spacious with a tremendous view from the balcony, and the garden view was simply stunning. The service was top-notch, especially with the laundry service being so convenient. Although the dining experience lacked variety in sandwiches, the overall value for money was great.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel! The room I had offered a tremendous view from the balcony and was set up like a 2 bedroom flat with a kitchen and separate bedroom, providing amazing views over the Firth of Forth. The location was superb, just across the road from the Portrait gallery and within a short walk to the Omni Centre in the heart of Edinburgh. The only downside was a somewhat limited dining experience with English muffins for breakfast.
