It was a very nice hotel smack dab in the midst of all sights. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was a pleasant surprise because we unexpectedly had a side view of the castle. The accommodations were comfortable and spotless. We had a huge bathroom and amenities were plentiful. I want to go back there!

The visit to Edinburgh was amazing but we wished we could've stayed there longer. We went to Animus Salon and got massage and facials, they even offered, coffee, tea or some wine. We went to a restaurant called Zizzi's because one of our friends is vegan and they have vegan and vegetarian options there. The hotel we stayed at was the Guard's Hotel and the beds were extremely comfy and the space in the rooms were great. We went on the tour busses around Edinburgh and decided to take in the history of Edinburgh while also planning our next visit for our friend's birthday in a few months time. (We're planning to stay longer this time.) The overall experience was amazing but we advise that you spend more than just a night over in Edinburgh as there is so much to explore.

The food was lovely; however, cramped 5 people to a small table when there was big lager table at the back of the room where only one person sitting (6 person table). It would not been and issue if only for drinks but with food involved, it was cramped. The washroom was uncleaned with Harry Potter fans' signatures all over the washroom.

Edinburgh is lovely city. There is lots to see and do and good shopping options. Unfortunately many restaurants and bars close their kitchens at 9:00 pm. If you are arriving late or get back from a tour late, it can be quite challenging to find a place close by to eat. The old Waverly Hotel offers a delicious Haggis at their bar restaurant. If you are not familiar with the UK, skip included breakfasts with your hotel and instead go to a Marks & Spencer (M&S) or Pret-A-Manger for healthy and inexpensive breakfast items and lunches. There are enough of these around that there should be one close by. Near Edinburgh Castle there is the Edinburgh Wool Mill. If you go inside you can actually make your way down to the bottom of the building and watch wool and tartans be made; it's free and a neat things to be able to say you've seen.

I love the hustle and bustle and ambience of Edinburgh. I love princes street for shopping. St Andrews square with live music and bars etc and is lit up at night. The hard rock cafe was our choice for an eateries and we weren't disappointed and they serve amazing cocktails too! The omni centre for the cinema for up to date new movies out. The seating is so comfortable now with lots of leg room. All within easy walking distance to each other. I stayed at the Balmoral Hotel which is in close proximity of all attractions. The hotel staff, food, stay was second to none.
