"Overall, I had a fantastic experience, and it offered excellent value for money. The hotel is located in Edinburgh's West End, which appears to be an upscale neighborhood. Buses right outside (routes 43/47 go direct) take about 15 minutes to reach the city center; purchasing a bus day pass is highly recommended. I was very satisfied with the breakfast, the room, and the convenient transportation. The front desk and restaurant staff were all incredibly warm and welcoming! For your first bus trip from the hotel, I highly suggest asking the front desk about local routes – their advice is extremely helpful!"
