This property was outstanding and really centrally located. The room layout was perfect for my family (2 adults and 1 teen). The hotel was charming with a great vibe, staff very friendly and helpful, and breakfast was excellent with lots of options before heading out to explore the city. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again if ever back in the city. It's a great choice and great value.

Here’s a polished version of your review: The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, but it has a perfect location close to everything and offers beautiful views. The concierge and restaurant staff during breakfast were spectacular and treated us like royalty. We truly loved our stay. My only suggestion is that the hotel should inform guests in advance that it is under construction, as some areas can be noisy during the day. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience, and we would gladly return.

Very convenient location with decently sized rooms, a very good breakfast and a remarkably comprehensive gym. Staff were excellent and helpful. Only issue is that some areas look a bit work but it seems a renovation is underway. Perhaps related to that, one of two main elevators was not in service but at least the elevator operating was large and fairly fast so no major queues.

Location is excellent. 1 minute walk up some stairs and you are in the Royal Mile. Hotel was well maintained, but undergoing some construction, presumably to improve the landscaping which would be nice. One of the elevators did not work for the 3 days we were there which caused a wait a couple times. Overall, if the construction was completed and the elevator was working, it would have been very good.
