The location was marvellous: a shopping centre and a market were within walking distance. Furthermore, it was not very far from a historic fortress. When we checked in, royal double room was ready.

The place was reasonably clean with a kind staff especially the manager on arrival. The superior room I booked was luxurious. It was just off the Highlands as well as a crossroads of the Royal Mile on the route that ambulances and other emergency vehicles take often, unbeatable location overall. Had nice dainties at Gurkha Cafe & Restaurant, located few metres away from the hotel.
