Added to this was the shower gel on the bathroom tiles from the previous guest. There must be better places to stay with a better offer in the centre of such a lovely city. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Macdonald_Roxburghe_Hotel/r1149484 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Macdonald_Roxburghe_Hotel/r550579 A red carpet leads to the discreet hotel entrance, a small gold plaque to declare it''s prescence. Upon entering reception, you are greeted with a tinkling of the piano being played in the lounge, and flickering candle lamps to create a distingusihed ambiance. The rooms are well-catered, extremely clean and of a very high quality. If you include breakfast with your stay, it is a satisfying start to the day with plenty to choose from the varied buffet. To relax and unwind after a day''s exploring in Edinburgh, there is a gym, pool and sauna, open from early to late so you can fit it into your schedule. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Macdonald_Roxburghe_Hotel/r550579
