The place is fairly large.
We loved this place, it's well priced and great value. The atmosphere is quiet with hard-working and wonderfully helpful staff at reception desk. There is a good choice of gorgeous food for breakfast.

The stay here was perfectly pleasant at £ 95 a night. Its location was prime and reasonably priced, close enough to walk to the centre, and in a pretty area. Besides, the property was 3 km away from an award winning museum.
The bathroom was old, I didn't like it.

I appreciated its great value for money rooms.
Rooms on a higher level had a quiet atmosphere. A high ceiling, coffee-making facilities and a dining area were provided. Prime location right by the castle and the royal mile, the main tourist's attractions and pubs and convenient for buses into town and out to the Airport, Zoo etc, located on a very quiet road close to St Mary's Cathedral, I felt safe. Had some takeout meals at La Campagnola, set just walking distance from the hotel, I couldn't resist.

A reasonably priced and lovely small hotel, I loved it, staff was superfriendly. The rooms were recently renovated and the service terrific. This accommodation was in the very central location close to good restaurants. The food was fresh, had plenty of options.
Well, the area was horrible overall.
