The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and were extremely helpful throughout our visit. The hotel facilities were excellent, with clean and elegant rooms that were very comfortable. The location was perfect, within walking distance of the tram to the airport and all major sites in this city. The views from our room were outstanding, overlooking the garden. The breakfast buffet was impressive, with a wide variety of options to choose from.
The staff were lovely and the breakfast was delicious. The hotel is conveniently located near Calton Hill and the new St James' development, making it easy to explore the city. It's also near the bus station and within walking distance of St Andrew's Square and the tram at York Place. The hotel facilities were clean and the reception area was welcoming. I found the parking options to be convenient as well.
All was good.
We loved the spaciousness of our room, which had two closets, a large bathroom, and even a separate sitting area. The hotel facilities were top-notch, including the amazing rooftop garden and a cozy bar. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the Playhouse theatre in the heart of the city centre. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had a comfortable stay.
No issues.
