Loved it!

This was a wonderful hotel, totally redone 6 years ago, so everything was brand new and spotless. Our room was a generous size, and with an especially nice bathroom. We loved the location, right on lovely St. Andrew's Square, just 5 minutes walk from the National Galleries and tram stop for the airport, and just 10 minutes walk from the Royal Mile. The staff were super friendly and helpful, including assisting us with tracking down luggage that SAS had left in Copenhagen. The in-house restaurant was lovely too.

Overall a fantastic stay in a great hotel. Food was fantastic and the location could not be better. Only slight negative was the hotel was quite dark (you might say ambient) and my wife has an eye condition (RP) which made it a little challenging. We'd still go back though, so guess that says it all.
