Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very cozy feel to the room, clean, and private. Bed was comfortable. Phone kept pulsating light, which, even though reported to reception, continued throughout my stay. The creaking floors really gave me the feel for staying in old Edinburgh, in a pleasant way.
Beautiful private garden across the street from the hotel.
