Perfect spot for exploring Edinburgh!
The location’s super convenient, just a quick walk from the train station. Room was large and comfy, and I loved the whiskey in the room—such a nice touch! Definitely grab breakfast in the bar area. it’s really good. Only thing was the view from my city room was a bit awkward to see. Overall, loved the vibes!

Families will appreciate the cozy comforts
You know the feeling when you walk into a place and it just feels right? That’s the vibe here. They had this home made chocolate waiting, and trust me, it was the kind of thing that would hit the spot after a long day. Plus that shower? Seriously powerful—nothing like washing off the grime and stress of life, right?
Sure it was a little pricey but worth every penny
