Fabulous location. Convenient to all the sites, restaurants and transportation. Easy tram ride back and forth to the airport.
We stayed in the Russian Room on the second floor. Items to note: this room is comprised of a small bedroom with king size bed and a living room and bathroom across the hall - two separate spaces with three different door locks - and it is not private. You share the floor and a kitchen space with others. There were another set of guests on the same floor in a separate bedroom with their own bathroom. Needless to say, we never left one room to go the other without locking the room behind us, which meant we had to keep the keys on us at all times. Just a bit stressful, like staying in a college dormitory. Also, the walls in this building are thin. You can hear everything and everyone from the bottom floor to the top all day and all night long. Great location, not very private. We enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh nonetheless.
