I loved the location and the excellent view of the castle, and I loved the friendly service from the staff.
I liked everything, but if I had to say something, it would perhaps be that there are only two showers and one bathroom for the floor we were on.

The location is amazing, at the heart of everything, and must have one of the best views of the castle in Edinburgh. The staff were lovely, and there was no issue with me leaving my bag in their luggage room after I checked out.
