Village Hotel Edinburgh
The breakfast was not the best this time around. They don’t do hot chocolate, they had no eggs for the majority or my stay and their bakery options were limited. The staff were not very helpful.

Clean room and clean sheets. WiFi could have been better. Friendly staff though. But could do with more showers and toilets.

Britannia Hotel Edinburgh
We booked this hotel as it was close to the city centre and provided (paid) parking. Our room was very clean but the decor within as well as throughout the hotel is very dated and could do with a freshen up. Breakfast can be added on for £12 per person. It was ok.
