Really good Stay in Central Location

complimentary mini barghd straightenersextraordinary comfortconvenient location
The hotel provides a complimentary mini bar that is restocked daily. It featured both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks along with treats. I found GHD straighteners available, a nice surprise. The bed offered extraordinary comfort, and I slept well (the pillows were amazing!). The location proved convenient. I was close to both the train station and the Royal Mile.
I noticed the bathroom size was a bit compact. After showering, water tended to accumulate on the floor.

the complimentary mini bar had water and other refreshments. champagne at check in was a nice touch after my travel day, we really appreciated it.
the emphasis is on the champagne lounge. if hotel guests do not book in advance, they cannot get in, i think that's a problem because there is no other lounge to relax.
