“In Edinburgh's New Town, this is a smart base for exploring, with major sights within walking distance. The absence of a full restaurant is easily forgiven, given the discount at the excellent nearby Rabble-a definite plus. I think its blend of Georgian elegance and modern comfort makes it a standout.”
