Fabulous hotel. Amazing location and we were lucky that our room looked out over the Royal Mile! Incredibly comfy beds, helpful staff and amazing breakfast. Only minus points would be that the headboards were a bit worn and there was no hairdryer.

10/10 Exceptional

Overall this was a great place to stay with an excellent location, amazing breakfast, clean and well maintained rooms. The only downside while we visited was that only 1 of the 3 elevators was working. The location of breakfast meant that we watched a lot of elderly people struggle with waiting for the elevator which was routinely filled with staff taking bedding to the floors above and they had to wait long periods for it to come back since the other elevators were not working. Once they get this resolved it will not be an issue. We were 2 adults and child of 17 years staying there.
