  Liked: Great location for exploring Edinburgh, quiet even though it is located in a busier area. Close to train station, trams, buses. Shopping centre, restaurants and obviously the main attractions such as the royal mile, Edinburgh castle and Holyrood palace. Staff that we dealt with were lovely, Sohail and Lochlan (think I may have spelled names wrong-sorry!)

  Disliked: Nothing 🙂
