We couldn’t have made a better decision than to stay at Richards. It’s so centrally located/near most major tourist sites- quick 5 min walk to a beautiful hill woh amazing views of the city, 7 min from holyrood palace and the royal palace, 10 min drive/20 min bus from the Britannia, and lots of pubs near as well. Richard is also an incredibly sweet, funny, and generous host. He gave us a bunch of great recommendations (including helping us spot the Queen!) and made us a delicious breakfast in the morning! Tea in the room and there were toiletries in the bathroom. We had a great time chatting with him in the morning as well.
As 2 young women we felt completely safe here the entire time (: Definitely stay here if you’re going to Edinburgh!
