The place is absolutely amazing! Just as described and depicted in the listing...it really is right by the castle (though our view of it was blocked by the makeshift grandstands put in for the summer festivals). But the views out every other side of the place were stunning, and the location was incredible. Really not a single complaint, concern, or issue with the place. One thing to note for some: it's 4 flights up winding stairs, but as long as that's not an issue for you, do yourself a favor and stay here if/when you come to Edinburgh!
