Amazing location! Seriously, could not be in a better spot for touring the Royal Mile. It is up 4 flights of spiral stairs so be cautious if that will be an issue for you. It became rather hard for my mother who traveled with us, but she went slow and steady and made it. Scottish people are so friendly she never ran into any issues going at her own pace up the stairs. Very quiet considering the location. Comfortable beds, and it has a dishwasher!
