My stay at Gleneagles Townhouse was generally fantastic, with really good staff attention and a convenient location that made exploring Edinburgh easy. The luxurious room comfort left a lasting impression, and indulging in meals at The Spence was a highlight. However, I did experience a minor setback with my early arrival, as the front desk could have offered more assistance in securing a room sooner.
