Decent room containing everything you need - bed, chair, shower! Good food available at the self-service, the bar and the cafe. The location is outstanding: just a couple of minutes' walk to Holyrood Park which is superb. Excellent bus service to the centre of town. In short: I enjoyed my stay and will probably be back.
