Loved by The Embassy Inn guests
"Right across from the parliament buildings, we walked everywhere and our choice of 25 restaurants within a 15 minute walk."
"The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice in a large bright comfortable room."
"The room rate included the parking and breakfast (a more than decent one as we found) which was one of the reasons we originally decided to book this hotel."
