Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
We were put down beside the Spa so we heard a lot of foot traffic while in our room. We had a light flickering for a while but settled as well. Location was fantastic and the cleaning staff were incredibly friendly! :)

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection
Room was clean and well presented, however there was mould noted around the window area which was disappointing for a recently redecorated room. Hotel was clean and tidy on entering and staff were welcoming. Would come back for another visit as it is positioned in a great location for Edinburgh.
