Good location and great basic room.

This hotel is in a good location for exploring Edinburgh Castle and the area around. The service at the hotel is excellent and everything is clean. The shower drain was not working well and after a call to the desk, a very friendly engineer arrived in less than 5 minutes to fix the issue.
