good location
good restaurant. The service was excellent and the breakfast deal is good. I asked for an extra egg and there was no additional charge. Huge breakfast included ham, eggs, cereal, fruit, breads and many Scottish breakfast items. Best to park your rental car on the street if you can find a spot and walk everywhere. Better to not rent until you leave town.

Nightlife tip:
Short walk from hotel
Ask at the front desk and get a map. There are two shortcuts to the Grassmarket and then a second shortcut up to the Royal Mile. Good pubs at Grassmarket and good shopping on the Royal Mile. There is a good jazz place about ten minutes walk from the hotel.
