CODE - The Court, Edinburgh
Clean room and clean sheets. WiFi could have been better. Friendly staff though. But could do with more showers and toilets.

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection
They were not ready for most meal service as their renovation plans appeared delayed.

Britannia Hotel Edinburgh
We booked this hotel as it was close to the city centre and provided (paid) parking. Our room was very clean but the decor within as well as throughout the hotel is very dated and could do with a freshen up. Breakfast can be added on for £12 per person. It was ok.
