The restaurant was under refurbishment so we weren't able to try a full breakfast, but they offered pastries and coffee, which my brother enjoyed. The staff were friendly, the location excellent and everything was lovely. My brother had a room overlooking Princes Street, which was amazing. I'd definitely stay again.
