Great hotel, right in the Center, many dining options and walking distance to places. The hotel restaurant and bar were both great. We had dinner there twice. The only detail is that the hotel does not accept cash, only card (something to keep in mind) I highly recommend it if you are staying in Edinburgh with kids.

The stay was excellent. The only criticism I have is that the TV in the room was not smart, therefore we could not watch Netflix or other streaming services.
