Good hotel in Edinburgh

I liked the idea that you are getting a 5-pound bar credit if you forgo the daily room service. I certainly don't need it every day during a ..."

"No issues with our stay here. It is in a convenient area and the staff were great. Only “complaint” is that it is quite small. Our room was pretty crammed and the lobby was often hard to navigate through when it got busy with tour groups. Didn’t really affect us though."

"This makes a perfect solo-person stay in an excellent part of Edinburgh. It’s clean and quiet and professionally run.
