The title of this listing is spot on! The view is absolutely fabulous! You would have to work hard to have a better view of the castle and one of the main streets in Edinburgh! So gorgeous and even fun to just sit by the window and watch what happening outside if you’re too exhausted from the day of siteseeing, but still want to enjoy what’s going on. Not going to lie, the five flights of stairs going up are a little brutal, but again, the view is well worth it. The only slight negative is that it definitely was not the cleanest place we’ve stayed, but we still loved our time there and would certainly choose to stay there again if ever we go back.
