central stay on the royal mile
perfect location good selection
the location was undeniably perfect for exploring. i found the staff accommodating, especially when storing my bags before check-in , as they kindly placed the bags in my room. the room was clean and included a good selection of teas and coffee.
The breakfast menu seemed somewhat limited for the price , to be honest. the minibar's pricing felt a bit steep . The cost for a bottle of pepsi was more than expected.
