“In my opinion, this hotel's prime location, within easy walking distance of Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street, makes it an ideal base for exploring the city. The blend of historic charm and modern amenities appeals to both business and leisure travelers, but some areas could use a little more attention to detail in cleaning. I think the warm cookies upon arrival and generally helpful staff create a welcoming atmosphere, although experiences at breakfast seem inconsistent.”
