This hotel is in a GREAT location. It is only a 5-15 minute walk to most of the touristy Royal Mile things. There is a Sainsbury's and a Costa Coffee right next door. And a bus stop right outside the doors (although we walked everywhere). The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. We weren't in the room much, except to sleep, and it was perfect for that.

Great hotel in a prime location. Edinburg has lots of slope and difficult to park and drive so you want a hotel close to your sightseeing spot so that you can walk comfortably. Important for family with small child and elderly. Would stay here again if I need to be in the old town of Edinburg.
