    maintenance issues
    small room

    Staying in the Deluxe Double Room was a treat! The bed was massive and super comfy, which made for a great night’s sleep. The space was clean and pretty quiet, perfect for relaxing. Plus, the views of Arthur’s Seat from the window were a nice bonus! There were a couple of small maintenance issues, but nothing major. a solid room experience!
