"We had a brutal walk to get the hotel from the train station. That had more to with too much souvenir shopping but it did make getting there unpleasant. The hotel was a great place to stay. Nice sized rooms right in the royal mile. I will definitely stay here again. But next time I will hire a taxi to get there."

"Overall we had a good stay. Had a few off days with housekeeping but was always rectified. Front desk was welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was good nice selections. Suppers were good. There was definitely 1 server we had the opportunity to have on multiple occasions( Imran). Very pleasant and great service. The pool area was nice we did use it a few times. The hotel as a whole needs some upgrading and safes in the room and a mini fridge!"
