    “La ubicación excepcional para visitar Edimburgo aun estando en la zona nueva estaba todo a un paso, además fue muy fácil llegar al hotel en autobús desde el aeropuerto. La habitación duplex y con dos baños era preciosa y además tenía vistas a Calton Hill. El desayuno fantástico tenía una zona con pastas pero lo diferencial eran los platos que preparaban al momento, fruta, huevos benedict o royal, entre otros. El personal del hotel muy amable y antes de irnos nos dieron muchas recomendaciones para nuestra ruta de viaje por Escocia.”

  • Great location. Comfortable. Nice staff.
