“Its prime Princes Street position is undeniably its greatest asset, placing you within easy walking distance of almost everything Edinburgh has to offer. The rooms, while perhaps not expansive, are kept impeccably clean, and the castle views from some are a definite highlight. While traffic noise is a consideration, it's a minor trade-off for such an active and central location.”
