“In my opinion, the location itself makes this hotel a standout in Edinburgh; being steps from Waverley Station and overlooking Princes Street Gardens is a true luxury. The historic charm, blended with updated comforts, struck me as a particularly good fit for visitors wanting to immerse themselves in the city's atmosphere while enjoying modern amenities. It seems like a solid choice for families and solo travelers alike, given the range of room sizes and central location.”
