We were the first guests on the opening day of the hotel. Really nice, friendly and helpful staff which went above and beyond to make the stay for us (family with one infant) as memorable as possible. Big thank you to the whole team! Modern, brand new facilities/ room which is well equipped with all necessities (kettle, coffee machine, stove and oven (inc. microwave), electric window shades etc.). Happy to stay again next time in Edinburgh!
