“A wonderful stay with a friendly and accomadarinf staff.”
Things I like
An amazing location with clean room, kitchen, and bathroom. The views were exceptional. Everything lead back to the location like it was always a stopping point. Let us checkout late because of late flight.
Things I don’t like
The stairs were a little steep and scary, but if you have an old place it is expected.

“Exactly as expected, clean, comfortable, would stay again.”
Things I like
The location was excellent - right in the heart of Edinburgh and the Royal Mile. Was easy to walk everywhere.
Things I don’t like
This is uncontrollable! But the stairs were very narrow and my 71yo father had trouble navigating them.
