 The hotel was fantastic, the rooms were of a high standard, very clean and modern. It is only a 10 minute walk to Princes Street where all the shops are located. They have a bar in the hotel called 'The honesty bar' this had no barman, you served yourself and left your tab on the drinks counter, I liked this idea of trusting your guests. I will be staying at this hotel on my next visit to Edinburgh and I have already recommended this hotel to friends/colleagues. If you have a car with you the car park is located beneath the Glasshouse and is a 5 minute walk throung an enclosed mall, you get 10% discount it cost me 9.80 to park overnight
