Royal Highland Hotel

We stepped out of the train station, right into this hotel. That was a very pleasant surprise. Literally no walking time at all. Staff is very friendly, they explained nicely where our room was and gave us some recommendations on where to get a nice dinner. The hotel looks beautiful, the big stairs in the lobby are a real eyecatcher. There’s some nice spots to sit in the lobby, to enjoy a drink. The rooms were a bit noisy and most of all, very old. I don’t really mind the curtains, flooring, beds etc. to be old, but the bathroom was so old that I can’t imagine they can really get it clean after all those years. I do have to say that the water pressure in the shower was excellent and that there was a heated towel rack. The breakfast was not at all what we expected, the room again is beautiful but not dressed nicely at all, and the breakfast itself leaves much to be desired. There’s no eggs or bacon or something. We saw some people order something from the restaurant but it seemed that was not really something we should do, nor was it offered to us. They did have some gluten free bread.

In this hotel you can feel the atmosphere of times gone by, it is elegant and very central. The staff was very attentive and kind to my requests for gluten-free dinner and breakfast. I thank them.
