Mediocre
Vitalii, Aug 2025
The location is very good. The main complain is that hotel's climate system does not have cooling. Even though a note on controller said that in the summer cooling should be enabled, it was not and the room on top floor was heated much above the temperature of already warm day. They provide small fans, but it does not help much.

Anonymous, Feb 2018
Pros (+) Breakfast was great. No pool available but there was plenty of other ways to spend your time. The rooms were contemporary and chic. The staff were professional.! The bar was ‘funky’. The drinks were expensive - £9 for a glass of wine. You expect to pay over the odds on holiday - especially in a city. A great few days away.
Cons (-) Cannot fault anything.

Pros (+) Great staff! Very attentive and helpful and so friendly! The facilities are clean and comfortable. It's about a 15 min walk to the castle and the royal mile.
