Really good Royal Mile Stay!

The location IS really good, right on High Street. Every attraction was minutes away on foot. The hotel itself is very tastefully done, and our room included every amenity we could think of. Front desk staff were friendly. They even emailed transport tips BEFORE we arrived.
There was a very slight new paint smell outside our room. The hot water was little more than warm, unfortunately.
