Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The standout feature of this hotel is the service! The staff were all so genuinely warm and lovely, and nothing was too much trouble. They even gave my daughter a Christmas duck as a friend to the one in our room. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived at 4pm so we were immediately given drinks vouchers for the bar whilst we waited. It was our first trip to Edinburgh and the staff were so helpful with information on how to get around and even where we could find a good toy shop. The hotel is undergoing a refit so some areas - such as the restaurant for dinner - were closed but there are so many places to eat nearby so it wasn’t a problem. We loved our stay and a big thank you to everyone there!
