adequate stay with room issues

helpful staff convenient location small room dusty car
the staff was friendly and helpful. the hotel's location was very convenient to nearby attractions. i found it easy to walk to many places i wanted to see. the food and drinks were also of good quality.
the room i had was quite small. there was limited space to move around. the bathroom was also cramped making it difficult to shave comfortably. valet parking resulted in my car being returned covered in dust. this required me to wash the car afterwards.

some downsides overshadowed the positives

small bathroom cramped room
The room size was a real issue. i've stayed in smaller rooms, but this "beautiful double room castle view" felt cramped (especially with all the furniture). even the bathroom was a squeeze. also, breakfast seating wasn't ideal. I prefer a proper table and chair, not just a sofa.

The hotel's location was fantastic, right on princes street! the whisky tasting featured excellent drams. the newly refurbished decor was immaculate in presentation. helpful advice came from nice staff. They were eager to help.
