“This boutique establishment is a true gem on the Royal Mile, offering generously sized rooms with remarkably appointed bathrooms that feel like a personal spa. Its prime location allows for easy exploration, and the convenience of the pub downstairs, with its pleasant atmosphere and solid fare, is a welcome bonus after a day of sightseeing. While there's an honest note about the lack of a lift, the staff's attentiveness and helpfulness, particularly with luggage, make for a well-rounded stay where value and comfort are clearly prioritized.”
