This was a great spot from which to explore! We had just spent a week in Ireland, moving to a different hotel every night as we traveled, so it was a huge relief to have such a comfortable place to stay for a whole week--the location was a perfect launching point for day trips, and for exploring Edinburgh. And THERE IS A WASHER!! As other guests have commented, there can be street noise at night, as people wander home from the bars, but other than that, we really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay here again!
