excellent stay in a grand setting
spacious apartment well-equipped kitchen good brunch prime location
The loft apartment i booked was spacious and well-equipped. the kitchen included a coffee machine with pods and fresh milk which i appreciated. i enjoyed having pre-dinner cocktails and brunch in the register room. It was a good experience. the hotel's location on st andrews square made it easy to access nearby restaurants, bars, shopping, and historical sites.
the stairs inside my duplex room were quite narrow, making it slightly difficult to move luggage.

The register club offers excellent cocktails in an elegant setting. It is perfect for an evening drink. breakfast includes table service and a friendly staff. the food is delicious, though i personally wished there was a larger portion of beans.

The hotel sits directly on st andrews square, providing easy access to the surrounding attractions. the princess street location is convenient, placing you next to the tram and within walking distance of various sites. waverley train station is also a short distance away.

Lovely Stay!
convenient location short walk well-appointed room clean smell
I loved the location! The train station was just around the corner a very short walk allowed easy access to everywhere. My room overlooked the park it was well-appointed I also got a nice surprise with a room upgrade upon arrival. The place had a warm clean smell that mirrored the good hand soaps provided in the rooms.
I noticed one staff member at reception was quite abrupt It gave me a feeling that I wasn't good enough to stay there.

I found the apartment warm, a wonderful welcome. they left a very thoughtful gift since i was celebrating a birthday. It was a lovely touch. breakfast was plentiful with a good choice. The pot of tea was amazing!!!
one very slight negative is that the curtains didn't close properly, so the room was bright at night.
