“What stands out about this Edinburgh stay is the welcoming atmosphere cultivated by the staff; I noticed more than one mention of going above and beyond, adding a personal touch that's always appreciated. Its location strikes a balance, providing a peaceful retreat while still keeping key attractions like the National Museum of Scotland and Arthur's Seat within reasonable reach. Factor in the convenience of free parking, and it becomes a solid choice for exploring the city.”
