The building was beautiful and historic. I appreciate how close it was to the Royal Mile.
Not very close to the Tram station and still a bit of a walk to the Royal Mile.

We love the location and staff and breakfast. This is my third time staying here. It’s in an older building. We got a larger room this time, but the bathroom was very old and a bit rusty, the filter in the bathroom needed to be cleaned , the bed wasn’t super comfortable and there was more street noise. My sense is the experience varies depending on the room, but since we had upgraded to a better room this time I expected a bit more comfort. Still would recommend because of location, staff, breakfast and charm of the building.

The room and the bathroom were big which was a plus, and had a lovely view of the entrance gardens. The reception staff were very polite and helpful! Received an extra duvet when asked and they were very helpful with directions etc. About a 10 minute walk took you to the castle and grassmarket and so on. No complaints about location per se or regarding the staff!
There was a constant, although faint, smell of cigarette smoke even though no smoking was allowed, not sure if previous guests had smoked or if our neighbors were smoking during our stay. Also quite bad lighting in the room as there were no lamps on the ceiling. The sofa bed was honestly awful, where some parts of it was wooden plank and other parts extremely soft. If you are more than two people and want a somewhat comfortable bed then consider booking two rooms.
