Great experience and welcoming & helpful staff. Very enjoyable breakfast. Inside courtyard is peaceful retreat from city. Quirky architecture means that it does not feel like an identikit chain hotel
This is an ideal place to visit the Old Town and a place to stay for University of Edinburgh graduation ceremonies being close to McEwan Hall. Note that no parking on site, though a q park is 5-10 mins walk.
