Eat & Drink

The café Cafe Braw is situated just moments from Britannia Edinburgh Hotel.

“Britannia Edinburgh Hotel benefits from its riverside position and proximity to Edinburgh's attractions; families and pet owners may appreciate its affordability and acceptance of furry companions. However, some rooms appear worn, and experiences seem inconsistent, suggesting variable upkeep. Budget-conscious travellers may find value here despite some drawbacks.”
