“The Victorian charm of this hotel, one of the city's oldest, makes it a compelling base for exploring Edinburgh. I appreciate its superior double rooms, especially those offering views of Edinburgh Castle, blending historical significance with modern comfort, but some rooms may present issues with external noise. Overall, it balances its traditional décor with a focus on sustainable practices, which I find commendable.”
