You cannot find a better location in Edinburgh! We were two adults and four teens and we were so happy to be able to walk to everything we wanted to see - the castle, holyrood, the Royal Mile, shopping etc. The #26 bus also comes right to the door and we took it one way to the zoo and the other way to the beach at Portobello. There was tons of room for everybody so we never felt cramped, and the views are glorious. Highly, highly recommend for any mixed group or family group!!!
