“I found the recent renovations to be a smart touch, blending modern needs into a historic structure; its Newington address places it within walking distance of the University of Edinburgh and a short ride from the National Museum. I particularly like that they offer family rooms and free parking permits. This is a solid choice for those wanting to explore Edinburgh without sacrificing peace and quiet.”
