If you're looking for a place to stay that puts you right in the middle of all the action in Old Town Edinburgh, book this place ASAP. The Castle is just a short walk up the hill, almost every tour you want to take meets right across the street, and you are just upstairs from all the souvenir shopping you could possibly want to do! We loved this central location. I would urge caution if you are looking for a quiet place away from it all after a long day of touring. This is NOT your place. We would have liked a clock on the wall, a box of tissues available, and more than two rolls of toilet paper for a week-long stay. Other than that, we found this a charming home for our stay in Scotland.
