average stay. some issues noticed.

basic room small bathroom
The room was quite basic, it did not meet expectations considering the price. a twin room was booked. the beds were almost touching. there was barely any space to walk around the beds. also the bathroom was small. Almost like a capsule.

breakfast selection central location decent size inability to open windows compact bathroom overall comfort
The breakfast selection impressed me. It featured numerous options. The room was a decent size. The central location provided easy access to many sites.
I found the room windows impossible to open. A lack of fresh air bothered me. The bathroom seemed like a compact unit. The overall comfort suffered because of these issues.

the breakfast was good with many selections. location was great just off the royal mile.
