“This historic building hosts weddings and events, though some guests have noted temperature control issues in the main hall during the summer, which could impact comfort; in addition, there were some remarks about basement-level rooms not matching expectations. With its location in Edinburgh's New Town and reciprocal club access, I think it's a place with unique potential.”
