Property within walking distance of all tourist attractions and plenty of places nearby to eat. Staff wonderful as they held my bags so I could tour before check in and had a cab waiting for me day of checkout to go to airport. Would recommend staying at this location, as it has a good price for location.

Fantastic location

Such a great little hotel in a great location! Laura at the front desk is the absolute best! Kind, helpful, and excited to be there-even during the ridiculously busy/crazy Hogmanay period. We were there 6 nights December 28-January 3rd. The beds are a bit hard and the room a tight squeeze (by bloated American standards) but not unlike NYC. The rooms are adorable, the cleaning staff was super nice. I just can’t say enough great things!! Perfect location to all the great things in old town. Highly recommend!
