The hotel is situated in a lovely park away from noisy traffic, offering a tranquil setting. The rooms are modern, clean, and come equipped with everything I needed for a leisurely breakfast. The breakfast provided was fantastic, but there were no specific comments about the price or value for money. Service was a bit of a downside as I couldn’t find my reservation initially, though I appreciated the availability of pet amenities and the housekeeping service. The location, directly on a university campus, was convenient and rated highly for its peaceful ambiance. The dining experience, with fresh strawberries available, was simple yet enjoyable. Overall, a comfortable stay with great breakfast and pet amenities.

I found the hotel rooms to be spacious and well-designed, offering a great shower experience and a large, comfortable bedroom. However, I felt the prices were a bit high given the level of facilities provided. The service was a bit lacking as they couldn't find my reservation initially, but they did offer pet amenities which was a nice touch. The location was convenient, right next to Holyrood Park and within easy reach of Edinburgh center, although it was situated in a restricted area. The dining experience was delightful with fresh strawberries available, and the facilities were modern and well-equipped. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks.

The hotel is located directly on a university campus, in a quiet area. The rooms offer a great breakfast spot, excellent showers, just as shown in pictures. The service had an issue finding my reservation initially, but they do have housekeeping and pet amenities available. The location is convenient on the university campus and offers easy access to Arthur's Seat park. Dining includes fresh strawberries and Italian dishes. Overall, it's a clean and comfortable stay with friendly staff, but the value for money could be improved.
