Beautiful setting and friendly staff. We didn’t try the food but it looked delicious. Direct route on the bus into town center, very handy - would be a great place to stay for any rugby at Murryfield (just down the road a short trip on the local bus)

The Torfin was clean and in a great area. It was very convenient to the airport and a short bus ride away from the city. There are great dining options near and a restaurant attached. The staff was so friendly and allowed us to store our bags in the morning because we arrived into the city early as well as helped us navigate public transportation!
