+ It's an old building and some of the decoration needs re doing but the place was spotless. With a bit of character. Food was excellent too. Bar should have Scottish beers though.

+ The hotel felt like a more 'classic' hotel, with winding stairs and long hallways. It's conveniently located in the centre and I was able to get to all my planned activities on foot. My room had all the amenities I'd expect. The bathroom was well-maintained and the bed was comfortable.
− The room was quite dusty (somewhat dated) and I woke up with itchy eyes.
