“In my opinion, the hotel stands out for its prime location on Princes Street and proximity to Edinburgh Waverley Station; some rooms have balconies with views of Edinburgh Castle, which is noteworthy. The in-house restaurant is another advantage, specializing in Scottish cuisine; consider that some past guests mentioned noise due to the central location.
This is a perfectly situated hotel, with a lot to offer.”
