This is an ideal location. The back door to the building opens on a courtyard connecting to the Royal Mile. The front door takes you down to Waverly Station and M&S on the other side of Prince's Street with Rabbie's just a block over. The host is quite friendly and helpful. his dinner recommendations were spot on (the Beef and Bone Marrow Pie next door at the Whiski Room were top notch). I would gladly stay here again.
