I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located just a short walk from the Royal Mile. The rooms were cozy and well-kept, and the breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious, freshly prepared with great options. I appreciated the free parking, which is a real plus in the area. However, I did notice that some areas of the hotel felt a bit dated, and I would have liked a few more dining options nearby.

I had a wonderful stay at this small family-run hotel in Edinburgh. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home. The breakfast was freshly made and delicious, featuring a great selection. However, the parking situation was a bit tight, and the room I stayed in was on the second floor, which might not be ideal for everyone. Overall, the experience was cozy and enjoyable, and I can't wait to return!
