I found the reception gentleman very helpful. He stored our bags while we explored the area. the room had full amenities, even hair straighteners. its central location really worked well for sightseeing.
i had a suitcase, i had to carry it to the top floor, as there is no elevator! it was hard after a long flight.

Excellent Stay Right on the Royal Mile

perfect location ground level pub early check-in quick transportation
I found the location really good for accessing key attractions. The pub downstairs provided great convenience after long days of exploration. The staff accommodated early check-in. This helped a lot with my travel plans. The taxi stand adjacent to the hotel offered quick transportation options.
I did notice the absence of an elevator. This required carrying luggage up several flights of stairs.
Rooms
9/10
The room's large bathroom included separate spaces for the toilet and the shower and bath. I found the separation practical. The bed was comfortable.. ensuring a restful night, and the room's decor was tasteful and modern.
