Located along the most photograph street in Edinburgh and within walking distance to the Royal Mile and all the fun stuff there is to do. Plenty of restaurants close by as well. The room was clean. The staff was very helpful and we couldn’t have been happier.

Beautiful, clean, and roomy accommodations. I particularly like that there was a hand shower provided. Excellent Location for sightseeing on the Royal Mile. Helpful staff including one gentleman who was ready with directions to the nearest optician when I broke my glasses. Good breakfast buffet and quiet nighttime bar with great negronis.

This was a perfect location in old town within walking distance to Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. Hotel was in an old building but has been superbly updated with all the modern amenities you could want. Staff is helpful and courteous. Would definitely stay here again on future visits to Edinburgh.
