We were in Edinburgh for a wedding. Many of the guests stayed in the Hilton hotel where the wedding was taking place which cost twice as much as our room but their accommodation certainly lacked space and character of ours. Being in the centre of the city it was a little noisy in the evening and there was no designated parking (there wasn't any at the hotel either) but we took advantage of free parking over night right outside the property and parked in a nearby long stay car park during the day which was quite reasonably priced - don't try booking parking on line it is extortionate. It was amazing to be able to walk out of the front door and see the Castle so close at hand - just 5 minutes walk away. We would definitely like to visit again so we can do the whole sight seeing thing.
