“This Edinburgh hotel stands in the West End, a brief walk to the castle and Princes Street, near enough for convenience, yet set apart. Original Georgian features lend a historic atmosphere; the Manor Lounge Bar calls to mind a comfortable spot for a curated whisky. I see this as a practical choice with some character, mostly suited to those prioritizing location and reasonable cost.”
