“In my opinion, this hotel's location in Newington strikes a nice balance, with the bustle of Edinburgh easily accessible yet far enough removed for a quiet night. I think that the little extras - free parking and in-room amenities - add genuine value. For travellers who appreciate both convenience and calm, it's a solid choice.”
