"THE best location possible. Steps to the castle and everything you want. Hotel is super clean. You’re directly across from St Giles church and not many cars up here at hotel because street is made for walking around. Great beds and quality soap in showers. Bedding is great, blankets great and mattresses were the best we’ve had on our 3 country trip. Staff walked us to our rooms and carried our luggage. Lots of steps in Edinburgh- but if you stay on the street it’s easier with luggage. 5 minute...

"We had a really enjoyable stay! The attention to detail throughout the hotel and the friendly staff made the experience even better. The spa was lovely, though a bit small, so it can get busy quickly. We visited early in the mornings and late at night when it was quieter. I’ll definitely recommend it and hope to return in the future!"
