This place is all about location. You are right on the Royal Mile and literally can step out the door into all of the action Edinburgh has to offer. Some things to note: there are many steps to climb if you have large suitcases, there is no AC, and you are sharing the space with others. That being said, the other guests were all very respectful and quiet and for being in such a central location the noise outside was not very loud. The room and bathroom are small (like most places in the UK) but if you are spending all your time in your room then you aren't doing it right. If you are looking for a place to be located to easy access for all that Edinburgh has to offer, then this is the place for you.
