I enjoyed location and staff. Nice large room, marble-lined bathroom. It had very comfy beds, wooden walls. Late check-out was useful. The hotel was appealing, but I stayed for 3 nights only.

All main attractions such as scottish national gallery were very close to this hotel. A shower in the bathroom. One could dine at restaurants such as Arcade Bar 10 minutes away.
