A great place for a friends’ reunion

We were visiting local friends. The hotel worked well and was perfect for our weekend stay. Staff friendly and helpful. The rooms was quiet. The restaurant and dining area always super busy. Seems to be a very popular place.

Set in a beautiful part of Edinburgh, the hotel is decorated stylishly with an eclectic mix of art and fixtures. The staff are friendly, the room was lovely with a pretty view across the back gardens of buildings on the row. Breakfast was amazing and the service was excellent. I'd definately recommend this hotel and will certainly be back.
