Very friendly and helpful staff. Modern and clean rooms. Nice breakfast with glass of champagne included, a bit pricey though, but worth trying at least one day. Reservation needed.

Perfect stay! The location is excellent, very close to interesting tourist attractions and a bus stop, which made it super convenient to get around. The room was outstanding — clean, complete, and extremely comfortable. The hotel staff were all very polite, welcoming, and always ready to help. Another great highlight is that the hotel has partnerships with local restaurants, offering nice discounts for guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely come back!

St. Giles' Cathedral

During the 16th-century Protestant Reformation, the fiery sermons of John Knox echoed around this imposing Gothic church. As such, it’s viewed as the cradle of Presbyterianism in Scotland. However, you don’t need to be religious to feel moved by the stained-glass Scottish Saints window or the intricate heraldic carvings of the Thistle Chapel ceiling.

    Amazing history.

    Amazing history. I'm just sad at the state of the church in the UK. Most cathedrals are now museums or shops. I mean, the father of the Presbyterian Church, John Knox, is buried in it's parking lot! Beautiful building however.
