Aside from the ship and the 1919 theme, the beds were incredibly comfy and the staff are such sweethearts. They love telling you about the history of the ship, they make jokes and always seem very cheerful and welcoming!

2/19 Apartment was beautiful, very spacious with high ceilings, huge rooms and tastefully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and the ensuite was also very spacious with a great rainshower. The apartment was centrally located at the West End close to public transport, a couple of minutes walk to Princes Street and walking distance to The Grassmarket, the Royal Mile and the Castle. We took advantage of the 20% off breakfast at the Huxley which was lovely. I loved this apartment!
