Really good stay

beautiful suiteluxurious bathsupreme comfortreally good service
The suite was very beautiful. It had luxurious bath facilities. the bed offered supreme comfort. the staff provided really good service during breakfast. the hotel is beautiful. I look forward to returning.
the room lacked sufficient usb charging points. also, getting into the room at night involved inputting a code into a tiny keypad mounted at waist level in a dark corridor, hard.

Really good stay

spacious roomthorough staffconvenient access
The room was spacious and well-appointed. The housekeeping staff maintained high standards. I found the location to be advantageous as it was close to, but not directly within, the most crowded tourist areas. The tram stop across the street provided convenient airport access.
I found that a couple of tea bags were a small number for a two-night stay.
Location

The location offers proximity to restaurants on st andrews square and retail shops on multree's walk. harvey nichols is also nearby, increasing the ease of access to retail amenities. waverley station is a few blocks away.
Rooms

The room included a kitchen and a washing machine, useful for longer stays. The bedroom was separate from the living area and it contained a television. There was a comfortable king-sized bed available to provide a restful stay.
