Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection
Friendly , helpful staff. Stayed 2 nights prior to flying home from Edinburgh. Our only problem was that the shower sprayed onto the floor no matter how hard we tried to protect it. Not a big deal for us, but created extra wet towels for staff. Excellent breakfast, but need additional coffee service ...
