This is a very convenient location for sightseeing on the Royal Mile- it’s right in the middle of the area.. It’s not fancy, just the basics, but was a great base for us to explore this area for the two days were in Edinburgh. the writers museum is in the courtyard, St Giles on the next block, everything just a short walk away. Only issue was that we had great weather ( a good thing) and the room got very hot because we couldn’t open the windows. They were responsive when we contacted them about needing linens and flexible with check in
