Service was top notch here with staff super friendly
Loved the pool and spa facilities although they are small so recommend trying to go at off peak hours. The gym is surprisingly well appointed too - they should make more of that!
Happy hour in the bar was a nice touch too

First, I want to thank every hotel staff member for their warm service, and especially give a five-star rating to Brian, the concierge! Brian was instrumental in making our trip a wonderful experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable, spoke seven languages, and always answered all my questions with a genuine smile. Thanks to Brian, my trip was so worry-free, smooth, and memorable!

The sanitation is generally quite dusty. The environment near the hotel is better. The service is generally discriminatory. The equipment is relatively old.

The hotel industry in Edinburgh is not as developed as that in London, so it is difficult to find a good hotel. However, after lowering my expectations, I found it was actually quite good.
