The hotel offers fantastic views of the castle, but the castle view cannot be guaranteed. The service was great, especially from the duty manager, even though the staff seemed overworked at times. It is conveniently located on Princes Street making it easy to reach from the train station, but it may feel a bit busy in the town center. The dining experience provides a stunning castle view, although some items could be cooked to order. Overall, the facilities were enjoyable.
