Great room for family of 4. Ideal location in the old town, middle of Royal Mile so 15 mins to Holyrood Palace at the bottom and Edinburgh Castle a 15 minute walk the other way. High Street was bustling in the evening with street performers and lots of places to eat out. Breakfast buffet at the hotel was fantastic, the kids enjoyed the pastries and pancakes! We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great first city break as a family.

The only downside was there was not a coffee station for guests at the hotel. You have to wait until the doors open for breakfast. There is a coffee shop nearby, but it would be more convenient for guests if coffee was provided 24/7. The new renovated rooms are beautiful and extremely comfortable .. however, the walls are paper thin.
