Absolutely lovely building, great and fab location really close to Edinburgh Castle and all of the Old Town attractions, Register House, and the Caves where the wedding was held. The breakfast was nice hot, extensive with cooked-to-order options such as Eggs Benedict or Pancakes.

I was here for 4 nights and ate at award-winning restaurant with a good wine list and superb breakfasts including Haggis. A minibar, a storage space, and a coffeemaker where useful. The hotel had magnificent location just off all the shops, museums, bars and restaurants, the castle and the Palace of Holyrood, and central edinburgh, perfectly located between the royal mile and princess street. Also, City Art Centre was at a short distance.
