Great hotel, perfect location

Great stay at this hotel. The location can’t be beat with the Edinburgh Castle right outside the windows in the front of the building, and the Grassmarket right outside. The hotel staff were lovely and answered all our questions. The room was comfortable and we very much appreciated the fan as there was no air conditioning (probably not normally needed but it was a very sunny day when we were there and the room got a bit toasty!)

Awesome

Close to everything, especially the castle. Lots of pubs and eateries over the road. After walking around most of the city centre this is, by far, the best road to base your stay. The hotel was great and very quiet!
