TO start the staff was ALL amazing! They were so kind and helpful, it was incredible. One of the best experiences I have had at a hotel. The room was beautiful with the most incredible mini bar I have ever seen. We partook in quite a bit of that. The bed was super comfortable. The toiletries were top notch and they even had a robe, slippers, hair dryer & straightener!! I was in heaven. The design is stunning with a ton of beautiful and cool funky art. The breakfast was mouth watering. Even if not staying there you should totally eat there. My husband said it was the best chicken and waffles he has ever had. It was the perfect stay I wish we had planned a longer stay here. Next time we are back in Edinburgh we will 100% stay here!

I just really liked the vibe of the room, and their breakfast was in the next door restaurant, which was so much better than most hotel breakfasts.

If you have limited time in Scotland feel free to spend your money on a few items here to say you bought them here but the prices are higher than everywhere else we were in the Scotland. Very eclectic and enjoyable part of the world. It's a must see for sure.

So many amazing things to see on the Royal Mile. I absolutely loved it. We found a nice restuarant on the Royal Mile and had some nice ales and lunch. Dave (my son in law) and I had the haggis. Yummy.

Lovely architecture and quite scenic. Unfortunately packed with tourist traps, so buyer beware. There are some true gems, local merchants and family-owned businesses that are worth seeking out for the best bargains.

We did a Hop-on, Hop-off bus in Edinburgh and stopped at the Grassmarket - very interesting and a must see is the Greyfriars Kirk and Greyfriars Bobby's grave. Toured the Holyrood Castle - very interesting and a lovely gift shop.

Lots of fun things to see and do and just a nice place to hang out. Loads of lunch spots; we would recommend the Whiskey and Haggis arcade and suggest try the Robert Burns Famous Haggis with whiskey sauce; one portion is enough for 2 people.

The real St Mary's Close.

The real St Mary's Close. Amazing "Museum" which is actually a series of uncovered streets that were originally built beneath the current road, below the town. When the plague hit, the poor were entombed there. The history of it was mind-boggling. A must to see. The Mile itself just great to walk, stop, sip a drink or two. The Dome restaurant and Bars wonderous at Xmas. Fantastic array of external and internal Christmas lights, trees.

A beautiful hotel with stunning architecture and decor. Staff were excellent and the service fantastic. Located very close to excellent restaurants, The Stand comedy club just 100m away. Short walk to Waverley Station and about 15mins leisurely walk to the Royal Mile along the North Bridge. In a quieter part of the city so you can have a great evening out a few minutes away and sleep in peace at a quiet hotel. The view from our room was amazing.

The hostel is kept exceptionally clean. The staff are cheerful and very helpful. It has a very happy atmosphere. It has an unrivalled position on The Royal Mile, very close to the main Railway station, and the main Bus Station is also a shortish walk away off St Andrew's Square. Instant coffee and a selection of herbal teas are provided. Sainsbury's and Tesco Express close by at South Bridge, plus a very good Blackwells Book and Art Shop.

Get away from the Royal Mile where tourists come to snap endless photos of token bag pipers wearing kilts. Walk to the Stockbridge neighborhood, full of beautiful flats, interesting shops and cafes. Walk to the old side of the city underneath the castle for pub crawling.

Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood...

Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood House with the new Parliament en route takes some beating in terms not just of historical content but also of ease of travel-it's a straight downhill walk. On the way talk to people-some of the locals actually know a lot about their City and take a pride in it.

St. Giles on the Royal Mile is several hundreds of years old. My family attended a pipe organ recital there one evening. What an awesome and thunderous sound that huge organ made, but could produce the most delicate melodies as well. Highly recommend taking some time to study the beautiful architecture as well as the gorgeous stained glass windows and the history surrounding this or any cathedral, for there is always a history to be known.

As a city Edinburgh is steeped in history, all the areas off the Royal Mile has a tale to tell. The city offers a number of good tours both by bus and feet for getting to know the past and how people lived. The city also offers an insight to famous personalities of the past such as Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Rabbie Burns
