We had such a lovely stay. It was right in the heart of all the things we wanted to do. Super walkable! And the room was bigger than what we were used to. It was such a treat. Super hot shower that was spacious. Still or ambient water available. Comfortable beds. And we loved the castle view with our twin beds. Couldn't recommend enough. Would happily stay there again!

Liked this hotel very much. The room was lovely, well equipped, and very comfortable. And the view of the castle was pretty nice too. The only slight negative was that the cooked breakfast (waffles and Eggs Benedict) was all right but not wonderful, so not quite up to the standard of the rest of the hotel. Everything else was terrific.

We arrived after our overnight flight from the US and asked about checking in early. The staff was very helpful and, for a nominal fee, let us check at 0800 for a quick shower and nap. The breakfast was great with the choices on the menu plus a serve yourself area with fruit, yogurts, pastries, and breads. The hotel is centrally located and about a 10 minutes or less walk to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile.
