I was truly amazed by the opulence and exquisite décor of the rooms on the second floor where I stayed for my wedding preparations. Each room had its unique charm that left me breathless. The service, especially Blair who found a special leather hole punch for us, was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The location, right near town on the Royal Mile and beside Edinburgh Castle, was perfect for exploring the city. The dining experience was delicious, with a full Scottish breakfast and a friendly staff, and the facilities exceeded my expectations.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was incredible, right in the center of the city and just a stone's throw away from the castle. The rooms were beautifully equipped with everything I could possibly need, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. However, there was a slight issue with disconnectiveness in the room layout, which was a bit of a downside.
