This is an excellent hotel. I would not like to pay the full price, but that said its an elegant hotel with lots of character. Personally, I think the rooms could do with a little updating. My TV was on a stand on the floor which I struggled to see from bed. Bar is lovely, and great location for me. It is opposoite the Scotsman newspaper and some lovely walks nearby. Also close to the pubs!
