I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms offer a lovely view of the castle, and the location in Grassmarket is superb. The service was exceptional, except for one incident with a receptionist. The dining experience, although not included in the rate, had excellent views. The facilities were top-notch and well-maintained.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel with stunning views of the Castle right from my room. The beds were so comfortable, and the facilities were top-notch. However, I had a bit of a frustrating encounter with one of the receptionists. The location was unbeatable, being right in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, but the dining options were a bit limited.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were in excellent condition, and the view of the castle from my balcony was truly special. The service was top-notch, with every staff member, from the cleaners to the receptionist, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The location in Edinburgh's Old Town, just behind the castle, was perfect for exploring the city. The dining experience offered superb views of the castle and delicious homemade pastries. Overall, a great value for the money.
