This hotel is a gem! The rooms on the lower floors are a real treat with shower facilities and even a lovely four-poster bed, plus an extra bed for families. The service was top-notch with great assistance on getting around and good amenities like dry cleaning and tours. The location, in a quiet area of Edinburgh but still close to the city center, was perfect for exploring.
