The room was spacious and the finishings were modern and fun. It was noisy at times with music, we weren't sure if it was coming from the pub next door or another guest room, but thankfully it usually quieted down by the evening. Great location for walking the Royal Mile and near a lot of restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Good location in the touristy Grassmarket area. Simple standard rooms that mostly fit our needs. Breakfast was served in adjacent bar. Road construction while we were there threw off the vibe though.
