My husband stayed here using our Tesco ClubCard vouchers - so were very pleased to be having a free weekend! The Hotel is in a very good location, on the pretty Charlotte Square, at the end of Rose St and George Street where you can find lots of restaurants and bars and Princes Street which has all the typical high sreet shops but with a fantastic view of the gardens and Castle! It took about 15 mins to walk from our hotel to the Royal Mile (we cut across at the Museum and then up the steps and through Advocates Close - very picturesque if a bit energetic). It is also a 15 mins walk from Waverley Station so a taxi would be very cheap (less that £5)
Check in was totally painless with very friendly staff. We even managed to check in 2 hours before the standard check in time which was great (although they do store your bag and cases for you if need be). The communal areas downstairs were spacious and there is a spa and gym here although we didn't use it. Our room looked out onto the centre courtyard so was quiet .It was well decoratedand well appointed with a large bathroom and all the trimmings of a 4 star hotel.
Edinburgh is such an amazing city to visit - many things to do during the day and some lovely pubs and restaurants in the evening. Attractions you should not miss are Mary Kings Close (and underground street), The Castle, The Open Top Bus Tour, and the late night Terror Tour by Auld Reekie Tours.
