I had a wonderful stay at Grosvenor Gardens Hotel, where the hospitality from Mrs. Chan truly stood out. The rooms were not only clean but also cozy, providing a lovely escape after a day of exploring. The location was perfect, just a short walk from transport links, making it easy to navigate Edinburgh. Although the dining experience was great, especially the cold breakfast options, I did wish I had tried the hot Scottish breakfast, which looked delightful on others' plates. Overall, it was a fantastic value for money which made my trip even better.
