Perfectly located to the city - a bus ride of around 6-8 minutes to Princess Street/main visitor attractions/Castle etc - parking also available at hotel. The outside of hotel is not very appealing but once inside it is very open, well lit and decorated - lovely relaxing feel about the place. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable - would certainly use this hotel again.
