Very good, big, clean, with a strong sense of design, and a very good location. The breakfast chef has obsessive-compulsive disorder and has very high requirements for the food. It feels quite safe.

The hotel is in a great location, at the intersection of Victoria Street. It is very convenient to go to famous attractions such as the castle, the National Museum, the National Gallery, Prince Street, and the Royal Mile. The service is good. It was midnight when I arrived at the hotel on the first day. I woke up the next morning and found a trash can outside the room window. After all, I had to stay for four days, so I asked to change rooms. The front desk patiently showed me three rooms and said that he hoped I would be happy here. In the end, I changed from the 2nd floor to the 4th floor, and the view was also good. It's a pity that I didn't ask the name of the staff. The room was good except for the low water pressure and small water flow in the washbasin. There are few varieties of breakfast. Cold dishes and yogurt bread are self-service, and hot food is ordered. I tried the entire menu for four days, and the products are pretty good.

This hotel is a pitfall. We booked a terrace king room, but the terrace was on the first floor, while the front desk was on the sixth floor, so the view from the terrace was like a frog in a well. The most terrible thing was that the two first-floor rooms we were given could not be reached by the elevator, so we had to carry our luggage by ourselves, and the porter ignored us after seeing us. We had no choice but to spend the money for the terrace room on a room with no view and no terrace, just to have an elevator. The facilities in the room were OK, except that it was small. There was a waiter who spoke Chinese at breakfast, which was very convenient. But it was obvious that this person was exhausted, and she was the one who spoke Chinese at the reception. Also, you need to climb stairs or walk up a steep slope to get to the hotel. I really felt tired, and the cost performance was not high.
