This was the perfect place for us. A bit of a walk to the Royal Mile but worth it. We stayed there twice while in Edinburgh. They stored our luggage while we took a couple days to visit Isle of Skye and checking us back in when we arrive back was easy. I will definitely stay there again the next time I’m in Edinburgh
