Gerry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great location in New Town, close to the action but just far enough away to be restful. The front desk staff were friendly, and the room was well equipped and comfortable.

Alyson, 2-night trip

Thank you so much for all.
Haluk, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was great. Big windows, great architecture in the hotel and in a really accessible spot. They provided fans as well for the rooms which was great because it doesn't have AC and we went in July. Can be a bit noisy at night time but it quiets down around midnight. To be expected based on the location
