The hotel is at the edge of Edinburgh town centre, around the university area, its in summer holiday so its not bad but could be different when students in, its around 20mins walk to the Edinburgh castle. Our apartment is decent, 2 rooms and a living room area with kitchen, its mostly quiet but there are birds and seagulls i presume, could be quite noisy sometimes, but wifi reception is not good around the apartment, apart from that we have lovely stay
