It is a wonderful place to stay. There is no elevator. The staff did carry my luggage up to the fourth floor, but obviously they do not carry it down when you check out (maybe if asked?) I found the old building wonderful, but this is not a typical hotel. It is a boutique hotel. It is very close to several places to eat or drink, but off the tourist/beaten path. It is still very walkable to so many tourist places though. Any walk in Edinburgh is hilly. Know you will be walking up & down wherever you stay. It was an easy (uphill) walk to Waverly Station. The room was large for UK standards for sure. I would stay here again, even though I wish breakfast were available.
