The soul of Edinburgh in a hotel!

The atmosphere, the attentive staff, the very comfortable room, the incredible scent in the corridors!

👎 Disliked
  • Nothing but if I have to be picky I would say the breakfast, the menu is a bit confusing and the buffet not up to the standard of other Michelin-starred hotels (we paid 75 pounds for two)
