I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right in the heart of the Old Town of Edinburgh, making it easy to explore all the main attractions on foot. The rooms were cozy and had a charming roll-top bath, offering excellent facilities. The service was friendly, although a bit forgetful about the business side of things. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the good coffee and unique vegetarian sausages. Overall, a great value for the money.

This hotel surprised me with some nice little touches in the room like 'Coffee for two' and the extra large king size bed. The service from the restaurant manager made me emotional, but some staff seemed to have forgotten the basics of a business. The location was perfect for exploring the Old Town of Edinburgh, with many attractions within walking distance. The dining experience had some unusual vegetarian sausages, and the fresh local fish was delightful. However, the price didn't fully match the value received.
