If you really wanna experience Edinburgh and not have to uber everywhere, this place is very centralized and probably within a mile of most of the stuff we did there. Convenient to the best pubs and restaurants, near the Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. And the hotel and staff itself were very nice and was an overall great experience for our first 2 nights of our trip. Will definitely visit again.
