Adjacent to the Castle with easy access from The Royal Mile and 10 minutes walk from the station - uphill and cobbles though so get a taxi if you have heavy bags. Our taxi driver tried to get us to walk 'it's just up the hill' but we were glad we insisted he took us. The beds and bedrooms were fine. The living room was OK but not that comfy or well lit - it didn't matter to us but it might to people staying in more.

Worst thing was the shower - we were warned by Armando but tow of us still managed to alternately freeze and scald. The magic setting is 'ten to' on the heat dial and 'high' on the motor!

The stairs are a trial for the unfit and a possible death sentence to the obese!

Armando and the cleaning lady were super friendly and helpful. Armando sorted out a slight problem (lack of mugs) immediately.
