Read it, so you stay away from this place, They call it a wee room, it should be called wee wee wee room, lt is 2 closets combined together, jail cell sized room, wait jail cell may be bigger, Old hotel with old everything Elevator to 1st floor broke, so you need to lug your luggage up 1 flight of stairs, Location, in may seem like a good idea to be on princes street, but trust me, do not stay in hotel on Princes Street, it's loud and busy, stay couple blocks back from this main road for peace and quiet nights.

The property was in excellent location for our needs. That is the Christmas market. It was opposite. The staff were excellent. The rooms were sufficient.. I could not complain about anything if I had to make a comment it would be. I would ask the hotel to move the Safe as the Safe was 1 foot in front of the bed on the floor and for anybody larger or elderly like ourselves, it was difficult to get to
