Pros
Built in 1886 with historical significance, visited by Scotland's national bard Rabbie Burns
Located in a quiet residential district while maintaining proximity to major attractions
Contemporary room designs with high-end Elite mattresses and Arran Aromatics amenities
Surrounded by diverse dining options within 300-meter radius
Cons
1.5 miles from Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
Compact room sizes may feel limiting for some guests
“What stands out here is the location, putting you steps from the Royal Mile and major attractions. Rooms may be compact, but they're smartly designed, and the modern bathrooms get high marks. I'd say the breakfast, with its generous selection, is a real strength, fueling you up for a day of exploring Edinburgh on foot.”
