Beautiful hotel in every way. Great decor and vibe throughout. Rooms were beautiful and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. Also, the food and drink was really top quality and very fairly priced. Can't wait to come back.

Britannia Hotel Edinburgh
It was a decent stay. They were slow to provide room service. We had to ask multiple times for them to finally do it. The walls are also pretty thin so keep that in mind. The location was pretty good as well
