We had a wonderful stay at the hotel during our special celebrations. The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean, equipped with great amenities like a coffee machine. The service was fantastic, especially at breakfast where there was a wide variety of delicious options. The location was convenient for tram access, making it easy to explore Edinburgh, though it was a bit farther from the city center than some might prefer. Overall, it was a perfect getaway, but the heating in the city was unexpectedly high, which was unusual for our usual visits.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the welcoming staff made me feel appreciated, and I enjoyed the comfortable room with a decent arrangement of amenities. On the other hand, I noticed that the hotel appeared understaffed during my stay, leading to delays in service. The dining options were somewhat limited, and I think improvements could be made in that area. Overall, it offers good value, especially for those attending events nearby but has room for improvement.
