I couldn't have asked for a better location right on Royal Mile, making all of Edinburgh's main attractions easily accessible. The service was outstanding, with a lovely touch of early check-in availability. However, the dining experience was a bit of a disappointment. Overall, a great value for the money.

The hotel has an amazing view and offers a quaint 'old' ambience of Royal Mile. The rooms were clean, tidy, and spacious, with everything needed. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, right next to the castle and close to wonderful shops. The dining experience was a bit of a disappointment in terms of price. Overall, a recommendable option with excellent service and a brilliant location.

The hotel is situated in a great location, central to the old town with various eateries and historical/tourist locations nearby. The rooms, particularly on the 4th floor accessible by a spiral staircase, are just beautiful. The service was attentive, ensuring that everything met our expectations, even welcoming us with a small sweet present; however, there were a couple of issues with seating. The location is exceptional, being a short walk from the castle with views onto the Royal Mile, right in the heart of the action. The dining experience was a bit of a disappointment in terms of pricing and selection. Overall, the hotel offers excellent value for money.
