My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very spacious, very clean, and felt cozy, but they could use a deep clean, and the external bathroom was not ideal at the price of 112.5 Pounds. The service was excellent with very friendly and quick assistance from the reception, and they even helped me with my luggage to my first-floor room. The location was great, right next to Haymarket station, walking distance to bars and restaurants, convenient with good tram and bus links, and situated in a safe neighborhood. The dining experience was pleasant with a generous breakfast starting at 7:30 am.

I was able to check in at 10am when we landed, which was a major bonus. The rooms are nicely decorated with practical and comfortable en-suite amenities, offering a great view of the garden. However, there was a shortage of rooms. The service was incredibly accommodating and went above-and-beyond to take care of us, except for the breakfast which could have been better.
