Great location. We had a castle view room on the fourth floor. Staff is super friendly. Rooms have nice touches, like free coffee, tea and snacks. Beds are comfy. The hotel is close to everything. A+

On Grassmarket so superbly located. Very helpful staff, at every request and opportunity. Rooms very comfortable, and supplied with the only washcloths we were able to get during our 2 weeks in Scotland. Excellent in every regard.

Nice hotel; wonderful location, especially if you are planning to walk around the city, Good proximity to the museum, the castle and reasonably priced restaurants and pubs. The staff was very helpful with eating suggestions. Only complaint was the squeaky floors in our room. Somewhat distracting but did not interfere with sleeping.
