“I think the location hits a sweet spot, nestled near the castle and Royal Mile yet easily walkable from the airport tram; plus, that pub next door promises a lively night. The rooms seem well-equipped, little fridge and all, and the staff clearly go the extra mile, especially with those tricky accessibility needs. A solid base for exploring Edinburgh.”
