We loved our stay here. It is located in an eminently walkable part in the heart of Old Town near all major tourist attractions but absolutely quiet at night. We were a mother and daughter and the room was perfectly laid out and appointed for us. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in Edinburgh.

A one minute walk to the Royal Mile with all the sights, history and pubs and restaurants. The vibe was spot on for Old Town Edinburgh. Would never stay anywhere else when we return to Edinburgh!
