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.

Not much need for contact with staff. Facilities very limited. Super location and hygiene/ cleanliness very good .There are no breakfast ( or dining facilities) on site, you have to go across the road for breakfast. Breakfast was plentiful but arrived cold

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

The room was clean and comfy. However, the bathtub was too high, making it inaccessible for one of us who has mobility issues. Also, there are steps coming into the property. This should be a consideration for others who use mobile devices.
