Hotel stay fot the Christmas Markets
The room was excellent and quiet. Very comfy and very clean, with a view of the castle. Can't fault it's location. The markets were only a 10 minute walk away and the square the hotel is situated on (Grassmarket) has several pubs just across the road (we liked the Black Bull and Biddy Mulligans).
