Really nice updated rooms with a wonderful view of the castle, Scott monument and the university. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to store our luggage and gave us ideas of things to do in the area until we were able to check in. Had a drink in the lounge area which was cozy and beautiful views as well.

This was an AMAZING hotel with awesome views any way you look! Choose the castle view side if you can...well worth it!! As for the hotel, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION...you are LITERALLY right on the main Prince Street...one block over from the Royal Mile...you walk out the front of the hotel and anyway you go, you can get to wherever/ whatever you are interested in seeing!! You can walk...grab a bus right across the street...walk a block and jump on the on/off sightseeing bus stop...the airport tram lets off right in front of the hotel...and you can walk right across the street to Waverly train station that will take you by train anywhere you need/want to go outside of Edinburgh. The staff was incredibly helpful in giving directions and the best way to get to what we were wanting to see. I cannot recommend this hotel any more than this...I would DEFINITELY choose them again if I ever return to Edinburgh...you won't regret this choice!!
