Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s Turquoise Thistle restaurant serves up a solid breakfast spread—including cooked-to-order dishes made with local produce—ideal after a late night. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, the on-site bar offers a curated selection of Scotch whiskies, craft beers, and soft drinks. Plenty of restaurants and pubs are within easy walking distance if you're heading out before or after a show.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you're in one of the UK’s most vibrant cultural cities. Bars, clubs, and lounges are all steps away, and the hotel bar is a chill spot to unwind with a dram or two.

The rooms are often described as stylish and comfortable, with special shout-outs to the rainfall showers and plush beds.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention the rooms can be on the smaller side—cozy for couples, but a bit tight for those with lots of luggage. Parking isn’t on-site, so if you’re driving, be sure to plan ahead. Otherwise, it’s smooth sailing.
