This hotel surprised me with some nice little touches in the room like 'Coffee for two' and the extra large king size bed. The service from the restaurant manager made me emotional, but some staff seemed to have forgotten the basics of a business. The location was perfect for exploring the Old Town of Edinburgh, with many attractions within walking distance. The dining experience had some unusual vegetarian sausages, and the fresh local fish was delightful. However, the price didn't fully match the value received.
