Great spot with easy access to city center in a quiet location and well done rooms.

Pros: Newly renovated and well done. Quiet location with easy access to city center. Cons: No breakfast option and rooms are slightly on smaller end. Wish there would be a few more options for cafes nearby especially with no breakfast.

Cons: I got bitten by bedbugs while I was there

Cons: I got bitten by bedbugs while I was there. Not great location. Refrigerator too small to hold small box of leftovers so door wouldn't close. Couldn't get coffee maker to work.

Pros: Ease of check-in

Pros: Ease of check-in. Good communication ahead of stay. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Tunnocks teacakes were a great Scottish touch. Cons: The hairdryer cable was trapped under a heavy dressing table. This made it difficult to use without being in an awkward position.
