“In Edinburgh's Newington, this hotel strikes a smart balance: it's close to major attractions like the Royal Mile, yet offers a quiet, residential feel. I think the free parking is a real find given the location, and the amenities ensure a comfortable stay, with thoughtful touches like accessible upper floors.”
