Loved the place, its location was perfect. We had view of the Edinburgh castle from room. The hotel was very helpful in organizing our tours, recommending local restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All meals were excellent. One of the nights we had dinner at the hotel restaurant, it was delicious. Overall it was just splendid, I highly recommend this place.

From check in to check out, the experience here is amazing. The staff, the breakfast, the castle views are above extraordinary. If you’re looking for a quiet sleep, consider a non-castle view room as the party on Grassmarket Square goes well past 1:00am, and the cleaning crews immediately start resetting the area for the day crowd.
