We liked the convenience of being close to the Royal Mile, at a more reasonable price. There are some drawbacks, though. There is almost no space to unpack some clothes, no air conditioning (generally not a problem, but it was warmer than usual at the time of the year and there was a fan to use), the bathroom is quite small. Also there are stairs to get to reception, but there is also a ramp, beside the entrance to get your luggage to the floor that has the elevator. But the staff was very friendly and overall helpful.

Perfect location to reach all major attractions. Bring in the Grassmarket is wonderful for the castle, dining, shopping, and tours. Great staff as well who was very kind and informative. We stayed in a family suite and it was very nice. It’s is Edinburgh though, so if you plan on walking be ready for hills and stairs. Hotel was very accommodating in getting transportation for my grandmother. Looking forward to a return visit.
