Premium bedding, in-room safe, desk, iron/ironing board

"We had such a lovely stay here! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. We visited over the Easter weekend, so the rates were a bit higher, but it was totally worth it. They even left a chocolate egg and a sweet card for the kids — such a thoughtful touch! The hotel has its own parking area, which felt very secure. It’s £15 per night, but we were happy to pay for the peace of mind. Everything about our stay was great, and I’d definitely love to come back next time I’m in Edinburgh."
