“Studios on the Royal Mile put guests steps from Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, but inside, kitchenettes and laundry facilities mean longer stays are easy. I think its location is ideal for accessing the Fringe venues. The option to buy snacks and drinks in the foyer after a busy day is a thoughtful touch.”

the location was excellent. it was right on the royal mile near holyrood house. the room provided plenty of space plus all the expected facilities. breakfast was also very good.
the towel rail in the bathroom did not work, because someone had removed the fuse. i arrived to a freezing room, because the window had been left open. there was no way to adjust the heating in the room.
