    Absolutely fabulous hotel, had very positive stay.

    Everything was first-class, nevertheless we stayed for 2 nights only. Impeccable service, as the staff were consistently courteous and amazingly kind. Had an exquisite breakfast, an airy room with a glorious view of the castle. The location was marvellous and fab, walking distance to the attractions like a castle and a palace, and others.

    We truly enjoyed the hotel, perfect and enjoyable breakfast.

    The room was en suite, and airy, with a well stocked mini bar, a dressing room, and a storage space. This was a great and fab location just off the cocktail bar as more choice and better atmopshere, the traffic / roadworks and shopping centre, restaurants and bars. The staff were all consistently courteous and absolutely kind, flawless service.

    Wonderful breakfasts for the smoked salmon. Marvellous and fab location in Edinburgh, right by the public areas, the historical sites in Old Town to shopping in boutiques in New Town, and Scotland, an oasis during the festivals. Besides, easy access to a Thistle chapel.
