Beautiful, clean, and roomy accommodations. I particularly like that there was a hand shower provided. Excellent Location for sightseeing on the Royal Mile. Helpful staff including one gentleman who was ready with directions to the nearest optician when I broke my glasses. Good breakfast buffet and quiet nighttime bar with great negronis.

Our first time to Edinburgh, and the hotel staff couldn’t have been better. Always available for questions and suggestions. Hotel is easy access to local sights, just be prepared for it to be uphill in both directions.
