Great spot in Edinburgh
Perfect spot for our last night in Scotland. Small hotel above a great local restaurant/pub. Room was clean and comfortable and the staff very helpful before and during our stay. Friendly staff at the pub, too. Primary reason for booking this location was easy access to the airport for an early morning flight and so for that reason: mission accomplished. Easy access from Haymarket Station when arriving and 10-minute morning cab ride to the airport.
