Enjoyed how brilliant and terrific the property was. Enthusiastic property staff like the overall manager. We had croissants, toast, cereals, pastries, and fresh bread for breakfast, it was reasonably priced. The location was magnificent, close to Edingbrugh zoo, edinburgh airport for flight and taxis into the city. We found out good prices in the hotel.
Rooms were a little dated.
