“The location beside the train station is a real plus, as is the building's architecture which gives it a sense of history; rooms are spacious, particularly the executive ones, and the fitness center is well-equipped. However, the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse wasn't a high point, and some may find the absence of on-site parking a drawback. Overall, the hotel's strengths lie in its location and amenities.”

adequate experience
room size friendly staff difficult access stark lighting
The room was a good size, providing enough space for my luggage. Staff members were helpful and friendly. They provided quick assistance when i asked.
Access by car was difficult for drop off, I would have expected portering. The bar was starkly lit. The restaurant did not seem well laid out.

The location was central, a definite plus for getting around.
The noise started early and the scaffolding completely ruined the exterior view. It was like staying in a building site!

the hotel is very convenient to the royal mile. i found many sightseeing locations within easy reach. the beds were comfy and i slept soundly each night. breakfast was also a treat (especially the pancakes!).
i felt the extensive work going on greatly affected the feel of the place. i wasn't aware of this beforehand. it impacted the overall experience slightly.

The breakfast buffet provided many tasty options. I was especially fond of the made-to-order omelets. The room had modern design elements. It was spacious too!
The scaffolding outside detracted somewhat from the initial appearance.
