    Very efficient staff, breakfasts were hearty.

    Everything was very good, and it had fast wi-fi. Coffee, complimentary wireless internet, and a safe in my deluxe queen room were useful during the stay for our weekend. Need to add that the greenery view was a nice bonus. The location...

    The location is great, with the hotel being fairly close to the center, just a bit of a walk away. You can easily reach the city center within 20 to 30 minutes of a steady walk. It's also a plus that the hotel is so close to Holyrood Palace, allowing for easy access to tourist attractions. The rooms are spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. The staff are friendly and helpful, providing prompt service. The breakfast options are outstanding, with fresh fruit, cereal, rolls, croissants. the hotel provides a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    The public areas, such as the lounge and bistro, lack character and are more functional than welcoming.
