“The riverside location offers scenic walks, while interiors, though undergoing improvements, are practical; it's a budget-conscious choice near key attractions. A generous Sunday buffet breakfast and generally helpful staff add appeal. I think it represents decent value, especially given Edinburgh's high prices.”
