    I came through the Huxley to also visit the Kyloe restaurant upstairs (This will be a separate review)

    Disabled Access In and Around

    Poor

    There are two large steps to get in. A ramp is sitting at the door but my dad had to go inside and let staff know we had arrived so they could deploy the ramp. They didn’t put it down properly the first time so please take care when you come that everything is safe before attempting the ramp! Once inside it is level access but the areas are quite cramped. The path to the toilets goes up a small ramp or step. The ramp is winding and tight and I struggled to turn the corner without scraping the walls. Oopsy! You go up this ramp to go into the lift for Kyloe .. more about that is in the Kyloe review.

    We came by bus. The restaurant is on the corner of Lothian Road and Princes St so there are many bus options and also a tram stop a few minutes walk away. I am unsure about parking.

    The toilet is a decent size. No Changing Places nearby that I can note. The toilet is not locked so no need to ask staff for a RADAR key. The red cord was not hanging to the floor however.

    Additional Information

    Our temperature was checked at the door and staff assured us about the restaurants improved cleaning standards. All staff were wearing masks or masks under visors too.
