The check-in was straightforward thanks to detailed instructions from the owner. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the castle (maybe two minutes!).
The stairs leading to the rooms were a bit worn.

great locationsimple mealclean room
The location was very nice. It was close to popular attractions and in the heart of the Royal Mile. I was able to cook simple meals since the hotel had all the essentials needed. The room was very clean. It was also really easy to locate.
The stairs were a bit steep and narrow. It could be challenging for some people with mobility issues.

The room was beautiful. The room was superb. It was bigger than the photos. The exposed walls and castle vibe were perfect for my taste. i nabbed the room for a last minute price and that was very nice
The stairs were a bit difficult. It is a very old building. there was no storage space for clothes. A small wardrobe would be very convenient.

communication was prompt and helpful. i received a confirmation text early, which i appreciated. the room featured a high standard of decoration and the bathroom was immaculate. accessing the apartments was easy due to clear instructions for finding the key.
the stairs were a challenge for me. my room was on one of the higher floors, and the spiral staircase aggravated my motion sickness each time i used it. i also noticed the absence of an elevator. there was no storage space for clothes.
