“This hotel is a smart choice for those keen to be at the heart of the action; its location on the Royal Mile places you steps away from Edinburgh's most iconic sights and sounds, while the promise of a lively atmosphere extends into the night. The uniquely decorated rooms and a bar that never sleeps add to its distinctive charm, an approach I find appealing. Overall, it's a solid base for immersing yourself in the city's culture and history.”

the best shower was included . the location is just off the mile. it was super quiet inside, so it was perfect to sleep. the breakfast offered lots of choices.
we initially had a room where there was no ventilation. staff moved us to another room so window opened to outside fresh air. the room was smaller than we have been use to making more difficult to store our clothes.

The room was quite small , and there was hardly any space to store my belongings. I practically lived out of my suitcase . The breakfast was also disappointing. The quality of food did not justify the cost. I would not recommend this hotel , even at a lower price point.
