United KingdomThe room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The Hotel is located in the middle of Princes Street so ideal location. The Covid restrictions were strictly adhered too which made our stay very comfortable. Hotel customers also get reduced price parking at the Omi Centre which is located nearby. The staff were very polite, friendly and professional. Our room was at the front of the hotel on the third floor with a lovely view and it was also extremely quiet.
