Great hotel right on Princes Street. Room was very comfortable with a great view of the castle and Scott Monument. Breakfast was excellent with a great range of cereal, hot food, breads, cold meats, cheese and fresh fruit.

The Mountain Royal Hotel has an amazing location and was the home base of our travels in the lowlands. Breakfast was very good for a buffet/continental style offering. The only criticism I have would be the ridiculous showers. There was literally no way to shower with our soaking the entire bathroom. Very strange design decision.

Great location, our room was a little tired and I wasn't a fan of the cleaning products they used in the main areas, there was an odour. Having said that, the bar and breakfast area was great, good breakfast and can't beat that view. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
