Solid Hotel Near Royal Mile
convenient location quiet room tea facilities wide selection
The location is very convenient for exploring. I found it easy to walk to many attractions from here. The room was quiet, so sleeping wasn't a problem (even near the city). I appreciated the tea and coffee facilities in the room as well. The television offered a wide selection of channels.
The breakfast area got quite busy around 9 am. It was hard to find a free table at that time.
Facilities

The gym provides sufficient equipment for a full workout with three treadmills and several weight machines. There is also a heated indoor pool available to guests. It includes a shallow area suitable for children and a deeper section for swimming laps. Towels are readily available near the pool area.
