fantastic stay!
warm welcome spacious room lovely touch
Adam, the concierge, gave me a warm welcome, and the reception lady was lovely. my room was excellent and very well appointed! the view of the castle was amazing. the room was also very spacious and spotlessly clean. My partner was really impressed. housekeeping serviced the room, and they turned down the bedding each evening, a really nice touch. it was dark and very quiet, even with lothian road nearby.
the bathroom had a glass partition with minimal soundproofing, a bit awkward.
