Staff was great, room was clean. Food was a bit too expensive for me and the wifi was a little slow. Great location for access to Arthur's Seat and not far from downtown.

The room was very clean, we were very comfortable. It was a wonderful surprise to get a lovely gift of Prosecco and biscuits for our 38th wedding anniversary, we really appreciate it . The staff were all wonderful and helpful especially Hannah the restaurant manager, who was so helpful and lovely at breakfast.. breakfast was great, they were very accommodating with what we wanted.
We had a lovely meal at The Abacus, the staff was very nice, didn’t caught the manager name, but he was very helpful and patient. Bonus there was Ev charging too.

Excellent location
