Front of house staff were always welcoming and friendly. Room was well equipped and spacious. Roof top bar had what must be the best views of Edinburgh. Fantastic design. Sadly had an issue with housekeeping which I felt when raised was not adequately taken on board. Let the experience of staying at the hotel down.
