charming stay

sweet treats lovely staff
the room had generous, sweet treats! the staff was lovely. the hotel was in a perfect position near the city centre with a quick walk to princes street. the room itself was lovely and filled with everything i needed.
hot water varied suddenly from actually hot to scalding, as if some unseen imp were controlling it while i was washing. a tiny bottle of mineral water was provided. the room was also somewhat overcrowded with furniture. i had to move the chair to open the cupboard.

tasteful décor comfortable bed modern bathroom
the location worked out wonderfully for me (i walked to everything). the room was recently renovated and clean with tasteful décor. i found the bed comfortable with quality bedding. plus, the bathroom was modern with nice organic toiletries.
the absence of a lift made carrying my luggage to the upper floor a little challenging.
