A memorable accommodation experience .

Pros: The décor , location and service .
Location: We were unaware of Charlotte Square and that part of Edinburgh but loved its proximity to dining and the attractiveness of the area in general .
The Principal was recommended by a friend in the accommodation business and didn't disappoint . We were fortunate to be upgraded but we loved everything about the place . The décor , location and service was brilliant and provided a most memorable evening for our last day in Scotland .

If you have a car, please don't select this hotel. They don't have a proper carpark. They have a space that only they permit one of their employees to drive your car. You are not allowed to drive your car to their car park. The hotel main entrance is on the main Street, so to unload your bags from the car you need to put your hazard lights on and completely block a lane of traffic, which is no fun around peak hour.
