the team ensured i experienced the beauty of the city. it is ideally situated for visits to various landmarks (i especially loved the national portrait gallery). the wallace lounge bar offered an really good food selection, and i happily dined there each night. the menu was particularly appealing.

upon arrival, i noted the absence of readily available parking directly in front. perhaps clear guidance on nearby parking options could enhance the arrival experience.

The staff was friendly. They were helpful and made sure I had what I needed. The hotel is located just off the busy Princes street. It had iconic views.

My room was a little small. It had sloping walls and this made it a bit cramped. I saw the squaremeters during reservation, but the room was filled with furniture.
