The room and bathroom were very clean and our room had a nice view of the garden terrace. The breakfast buffet was a good way to start our day, it looked clean and had various options from sausages and eggs to cereal. Especially a lot of thanks to Klaudia and Eduart for the fresh cappuccino every morning!!

We had a short, one night stay here and wished we could have stayed longer. Beautiful lobby and big and clean guest rooms. Loved that they actually had a real coffee maker in the room, along with complimentary sweets. Check in was easy and we were able to have them hold our luggage (no cost) as we had to turn in our rental car. Staff was friendly and we were provided special treats at check in. We paid for the buffet breakfast, which was very good and offered a nice array of food options. We felt as though we were in a very safe area and we were able to get to Princes St and the Royal Mile quite easily.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Rooms are nice and well equipped. However, they could use some attention re cleanliness: lots of dust on the baseboards and door trim that was so thick it had to be noted; and soap dispenser was broken off the wall and not repaired. Liked the Nespresso machine and available teas in the room, comfy bed, and wonderful bathtub that was extra long. The breakfast had decent selection. However, the haggis (while good in flavor) and baked sunny eggs stuck to the teeth and throat and deemed inedible. Dinner was only available in the bar with a limited menu, but was good as were the drinks. Staff were super friendly and the location was quiet and delightful with a beautiful view.
