First off- I wouldn’t recommend this hotel if you have busy sightseeing days and are in a hurry. Or if you have limited mobility as this hotel is about a 10-15 min walk to the train and the train is 4 stops from City center and unlike most cities I’ve ever been to, they don’t run that often or run very late. We had to allow extra time to get to our tour and barely made it one morning. One evening after being out on a whole day tour- we missed a train by 5 min and had to wait an entire hour. I didn’t realize it would be so far.
Good: staff was nice- this place is first and foremost a restaurant/bar so staff works in the restaurant. They are anll very busy but the few times we had questions, they were very helpful. All nights (3) we were there they had big parties and the bar was packed. Music died down by 1am but kind of annoying. Did not try the restaurant for dinner but the neighborhood had cafes and restaurants.
Room was fine. We were really only there to sleep. We really liked the breakfast- cooked to order. I tried the full Scottish one day and then stuck to poached eggs w toast and yogurt with fresh fruit.
I think someone would enjoy this hotel if trying to get a “slice of life” type experience from a suburb type place.
