“These apartment-style accommodations, steps from Edinburgh's best, deliver the rare combination of luxury and convenience, including in-room laundry: a definite plus. While some initial hiccups were reported during renovations, the building's beauty shines through; when everything is complete, it should be fantastic. I think this hotel is a solid choice for an extended Edinburgh stay.”
