The hotel is ideally located in a beautiful part of Edinburgh, close to the centre and within a 10 to 15 minutes walk from York Place Tram station. The service was excellent at all times, although room service and housekeeping could have been more prompt. Dining offers crisp salads, but additional menu options would enhance the experience.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, right by a park that overlooks the Calton Hill viewpoint, and we even found an amazing authentic Turkish restaurant in Elm Row, which was a delightful surprise. The rooms were cozy and clean, but having a separate bathroom across the hall was a bit inconvenient. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff always ready to assist. The only drawback was the steep embankment leading to the hotel, but it was well worth it for the central Edinburgh location.
