Convenient and nice.

Nice place to stay close to the royal mile. Our room was pretty small and bathroom was snug. I assume that is just a part of staying in Edinburgh. No complaints because we spent most of our time out.

Convenient to Train station

Lovely hotel just a short walk from the train station! Easy to get to even when rolling bags of luggage. Room is nice and it has a safe for storing important items. Does not have a refrigerator. They do provide a kettle for heating water for coffee. Very close walk to Royal Mile.

3 star place with 5 star pricing

Location was super convenient. Prices were ridiculously inflated (3x normal) during the festival and then the “rate” did not include breakfast. Oh please…
