I liked that it was easy to get train into Edinburgh in 15 minutes. The bar and grill were lovely and relaxing. The food in the grill was first class but very expensive as was the drinks. The room we had didnt have a fridge which was disappointing even chill bottles of water

First time visiting Scotland, to visit Edinburgh. I booked this hotel because of the high rating, and although its almost an hour bus journey to Edinburgh, the bus stop was just around the corner so it was very easy to get to Edinburgh and back. The staff are lovely and accommodating, I spent my birthday here and one of the waiters was very sweet about it and bought me over some free treats with my morning hot chocolate. The Rooms are lovely and spacious, with AC and heating. Maids come around every day to tidy up and restock any complementaries that are needed. Reception staff are very helpful, the dining was extraordinary. Reasonable prices for the quality of the food. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and hope to come back at some point!
