The hotel had gorgeous decor and lovely views, offering a nice view and character. The service was fantastic with room service available. The location was within walking distance into the town area, making it super close to restaurants and attractions in Edinburgh. The dining experience provided wide options with fresh fish, and the facilities were modern and convenient. While the price was on the higher side, the value for money was evident.

The hotel offers a beautiful decor, a comfy bed, and a very comfortable stay, but the water pressure was disappointingly low. The service was top-notch, with room service exceeding expectations. The location is ideal, within a short walk to the town area and close to Edinburgh highlights. The dining experience was satisfactory with wide food options available. Unfortunately, the facilities were lacking in some areas.
