I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were amazing for the price, though they seemed a bit small due to the super king bed. The location was perfect, right on The Mile, and the service was fantastic with everyone being so nice and helpful. The bar and breakfast downstairs were a great addition.

The hotel was a gem right in the heart of the Royal Mile, offering a top-notch experience. The rooms were of impeccable quality, even surpassing most 5-star hotels, with thoughtful touches like a welcoming brownie and a gift prosecco. Climbing to the top floor was worth every step for the comfort and cleanliness provided. Although the service was attentive and professional, a warmer approach could have enhanced the experience. The location couldn't have been better, allowing easy exploration of historic Edinburgh's key attractions. The dining experience, while excellent in quality, was noted to be a bit slow. Overall, a superb choice for a stay in Edinburgh.
