“The location is a real highlight, practically across from the train station and a stone's throw from the Royal Mile, yet surprisingly quiet. I like that they stock the mini-bar with complimentary local products, a nice touch. It's a modern and comfortable base for exploring the city's historic heart.”

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.
