Great location to explore both the old and new town of Edinburgh. Lots of shops and restaurants close by. Very walkable and safe. I'd recommend a room off the main street as it was a little noisy at night. This is not a fancy hotel, but is a good value. Staff were excellent.

The hotel was in a great location just off the main road that takes you down to the Scott Monument and beyond. I had a single room which was perfect for just me. The staff were really kind and polite and helpful also. I would definitely stay here again.
