My stay at Ten Hill Place had its highlights and low points. The staff were friendly and genuinely tried to help (especially Lewis and Ewan), and the location was spot-on for exploring Edinburgh. However, I faced significant issues with my booking, including a lack of promised amenities and poor communication. Overall, while some aspects shined, the experience didn't meet the expectations I had for a 'luxury' stay.
