Britannia Hotel- Edinburgh

Quick check-in/check out service, staff were pleasant. Room was clean, good bathroom utilities however there was a draft from the window. Great storage for clothes and a large mirror for getting ready. Definitely would reccomend- affordable and decent quality. It was also a short 5 minute walk from the Dean Village which was stunning to walk around, and not too far from the centre.
