The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
Fantastic hotel in an amazing location with wonderful staff, let down by no toiletries other than huge plastic bottles of soap bolted to the walls, mini bar not stocked, and no tea making facilities. Great Nespresso machine but no sugar and no milk. Two bottles of water provided. Not enough.
