“In my opinion, while the staff and breakfast stand out, some rooms may need attention. I think that the property's central location, a short walk from Edinburgh Castle, is a definite advantage. I believe the blend of historic charm and modern comfort, alongside the unique castle views, make it a distinct choice, however, it is important to be aware of potential upkeep issues.”
