Gorgeous property, has great staff especially the manager on arrival. Marvellous and unbeatable location next to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Edinburgh Castle on the Royal Mile, Royal Mile market and so great to get to all the attractions, well presented food. Again, not far from Edinburgh Old Town. Generally clean, elegant units provided with bar, a large bed and iron & board.
