Super comfortable bed and modern bathroom in a gorgeous historic building. Lovely personal touch with a snacks goodie bag and available toiletries. I had forgotten my toothbrush so the convenience of being able to get one at the property was a bonus! Great view over rooftops to the ocean.

Lots of fun things to see and do and just a nice place to hang out. Loads of lunch spots; we would recommend the Whiskey and Haggis arcade and suggest try the Robert Burns Famous Haggis with whiskey sauce; one portion is enough for 2 people.

The real St Mary's Close.

The real St Mary's Close. Amazing "Museum" which is actually a series of uncovered streets that were originally built beneath the current road, below the town. When the plague hit, the poor were entombed there. The history of it was mind-boggling. A must to see. The Mile itself just great to walk, stop, sip a drink or two. The Dome restaurant and Bars wonderous at Xmas. Fantastic array of external and internal Christmas lights, trees.

Lovely hotel! Room was cosy, great shower in the bathroom which is always a highlight and bed was really comfy! Could have done with some coat hooks in the room though. Breakfast was great with good options and the location of the hotel was perfect! A short walk from the train station and a stones throw from the royal mile and the main sightseeing experiences across the city. We had a perfect stay and the hotel definitely contributed to this! Would recommend, and would definitely stay again!

We did not take the breakfast, which was extra. Initially thought the charge of £20 p.p. per day was high but in hindsight I think it reflected Edinburgh prices in general. The hotel was very convenient from the station. As people in their 70s we were able to walk there. The hotel was in a good location on the Royal mile, and was good value. We booked through Booking.com and we looked at quite a few in the area. Thank you to the staff for all their helpful advice, all given with a smile.

Get away from the Royal Mile where tourists come to snap endless photos of token bag pipers wearing kilts. Walk to the Stockbridge neighborhood, full of beautiful flats, interesting shops and cafes. Walk to the old side of the city underneath the castle for pub crawling.

Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood...

Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood House with the new Parliament en route takes some beating in terms not just of historical content but also of ease of travel-it's a straight downhill walk. On the way talk to people-some of the locals actually know a lot about their City and take a pride in it.

St. Giles on the Royal Mile is several hundreds of years old. My family attended a pipe organ recital there one evening. What an awesome and thunderous sound that huge organ made, but could produce the most delicate melodies as well. Highly recommend taking some time to study the beautiful architecture as well as the gorgeous stained glass windows and the history surrounding this or any cathedral, for there is always a history to be known.

As a city Edinburgh is steeped in history, all the areas off the Royal Mile has a tale to tell. The city offers a number of good tours both by bus and feet for getting to know the past and how people lived. The city also offers an insight to famous personalities of the past such as Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Rabbie Burns
