Small Leading hotel with really friendly staff. Nice atmosphere because of the age of the building. Really great location in the old town of Edinburgh. But. The cleaning of the room has left a bit to be desired. The bed was way too soft for our liking. Breakfast (continental) ok but is not a 5 star hotel. Restaurant by the quality and the service very good. Conclusion. Than address for visiting ok. A 5 * level compared to Germany but not. Read more
