“It struck me how quiet this side street is, a genuine retreat just moments from the bustle of New Town and its shopping. The rooms themselves are quite something, expansive spaces with luxurious bathrooms that truly feel like a special indulgence. I certainly found the entire setup to be a remarkable value, especially with the personal touches felt throughout.”
