I really loved the comfort of the bed as well as the decor of the room. The room and the bathroom were spacious. I loved the narrow spiral staircase leading up to the rooms. I felt very secure -- once I was inside my room. There were multiple locks / doors before you got to your actual room.

It was a great location and a beautiful property. Easy walking distance to most of the main attractions and to the train station. It’s a great place for a weekend get away with few/light bags.

the flat was fine , the narrow twisting steep stairs 4 flights with heavy luggage was not what I expected

Laurie United States of America

Three major pluses with this property, the first being location near the castle and right on the Royal Mile. The second is the quality of the bed. Very comfortable. And lastly, the property was modern, clean, and well appointed.
