“I find this hotel to be a practical choice for exploring Edinburgh's Old Town, with its central location placing you steps away from the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. The on-site bar, with its live music, definitely adds to the hotel's vibrant atmosphere, though some past guests have noted noise disturbances. While the rooms are basic, the hotel's pet-friendly policy is a definite advantage for travellers with dogs.”
