Automatic AC issues in the rooms.
AC was not able to be turned off through the controller on the wall, I have asked reception to fix that issue, they did not even interested helping it, I was about to get sick due to AC blowing cold. I was not expecting that much bad service level from a 4 star hotel.

Perfect place to stay in Edinburgh
This was an absolutely perfect stay. The staff was incredible and treated us well for our honeymoon. The room was spectacular. We loved having the spa available to relax in after a long day walking around. Location couldn’t be beat either for travelers. Close to the train station and close to all the sightseeing.
