Great Meal Deal

I enjoyed the dinner meal deal offered at the hotel which included both a drink and a two-course meal for just £25. It was fantastic value for money, and I was impressed with the quality of the food. It truly added to my overall experience!

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right in the heart of the town with easy access to Waverley station and all the main attractions. The rooms were spacious, well-equipped with a modern large TV, and kept impeccably clean. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and helping me explore the charming Old Town. However, the dining options were a bit limited, but the homemade sweets were a delightful touch. Overall, a fantastic value for money experience!
