Great room for family of 4. Ideal location in the old town, middle of Royal Mile so 15 mins to Holyrood Palace at the bottom and Edinburgh Castle a 15 minute walk the other way. High Street was bustling in the evening with street performers and lots of places to eat out. Breakfast buffet at the hotel was fantastic, the kids enjoyed the pastries and pancakes! We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great first city break as a family.
