This hotel was perfect for our visit to Edinburgh, room was very warm, clean, bed was comfortable. The breakfast was very good, with plenty of choice. The hotel had a bus stop down some steps that took you into Edinburgh, the buses were very regular. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will return.

This is our second stay at this hotel. We got the same room 110. Is it the Expedia room? TV is about 7 to 8 feet high off the floor, and a foot from the high ceiling. Carpet is all rippled, a accident waiting to happen.
