We loved the exceptional location of the hotel, perched perfectly on the Royal Mile and just a short walk from the station, which made exploring the city a breeze. The staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating, always willing to help with any request. The cleanliness exceeded our expectations, as the shared bathrooms and communal spaces were consistently well-maintained. the cozy social area offered various amenities like games and musical instruments, providing a welcoming atmosphere for meeting new people.
