“Its prime positioning near the Royal Mile is undeniable, and I found the executive lounge, particularly with the attentive service from Iryna, to be a distinct advantage worth considering. While renovations mean the exterior isn't at its most appealing, the core comfort of the rooms and the generally good breakfast buffet stood out, even if there were minor hiccups like water pressure issues.”
