After reading all the reviews about the amount of stairs I can confirm they are true. But like everyone else said … it’s totally worth it!! The views are amazing and you are right next to the castle and the royal mile too. Beds were comfortable and the heated floors in the bathrooms were awesome. The fireplace was perfect and super cozy after a long day in the city. If I ever come back to Edinburgh I will for sure be staying here. Wish I could of stayed longer! :)
