The hotel has a really convenient location. It is near the train station and the Royal Mile. My room was super clean and modern. It had everything I needed.
The fridge in my room didn't work . I also found that some of the staff seemed cold and unfriendly. My room was very hot at night and the air conditioning control didn't make any difference.
