Nicely decorated room, cozy with a large bathroom which was lovely. Helpful, friendly staff. Could do with a blanket or two for extra warmth instead of putting the heating up in the room and nicer smelling cleaning liquid for cleaning the bathroom but these are small things. The most useful addition would be breakfast. It was a great place to stay in a good location.

The location to St Andrews Square is excellent so airport run was direct. Hotels twin room and bathroom (shower and bath);was huge and excellent for amenities. There is a steep incline to get anywhere but it's fine. Reception staff were a delight every time.

Lovely hotel, located 10 min away from the city centre on a lovely quiet street. Situated very closely to the National Portrait Gallery on one side and a fantastic small Scandinavian bakery on the other. The staff was very friendly, the room was very big and clean and the beds were comfortable. There were some occasional noise from the room above (floors were squeaky). Excellent value for money.
