Really good Royal Mile Stay!

central locationtasteful designcomplete amenityfriendly staff
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.

The room was beautiful, nicely appointed and centrally located. The location is perfect, right in the center of everything. I faced the street, but the room was completely insulated so there was no noise at all. The staff was caring and friendly, going above and beyond.
The walk was hilly and had many steps from the train station.
