Castle Snug was super cool for our family of 4! The location is better than you can get from a hotel and it was quite spacious for 4 of us - it was bigger than we thought it would be. In addition, the place was very clean and my wife appreciated the upgraded bathroom and fixtures. We were able to do laundry with the dual washer/dryer which was nice. The best part was being able to walk out to the heart of the Royal Mile right from our door (down the corridor - aka "close" in Edinburgh terms ). We will recommend Castle Snug for to our friends visiting Edinburgh. Brian was a great host too and provided all sorts of suggestions to make our stay perfect. We hope to return soon. Cheers!
