We took the train into Edinburgh, from London. Everyone told us to take books/ipads for the train ride, but my husband and I were just...mesmerized. \n\nThe English countryside was beautiful, but it was almost like you could feel it when you crossed over into Scotland. It was beyond breathtaking. The green, the snow, the slopes... I digress- I suppose that's more of a review for the train ride and less for the hotel, so I'll get back on track. \n\nWhen we arrived into Waverly station, it was an incredibly short walk to the hotel. I don't think I was even aware how short it was, exactly. What i also wasn't aware of was the fact that there was either a fairly steep hill OR the 'News Steps' to get there ( Believe me, if a stair case has a name,  it is SERIOUS). \n\nWe ended up walking up the hill, which was definitely the better alternative with our bags, but it was still definitely not the best after a 5 AM wake up and a 5 hour journey. It did take a bit of frantic \""Did we come the right way?\"" questions to find the hotel. \n\nThe plus is - once you know where it is - the location is FANTASTIC. Minutes away from St. Giles cathedral, restaurants, the Edinburgh castle - you name it! It is also ridiculously beautiful. Everything is classy, the help is fantastic. When you've got the location/your belongings settled, the hills up and down are pretty easy to take on. If I had one complaint, it was that the wifi was a bit spotty in our room. Who comes to Edinburgh to be online though, right? Plus, WIFI in the lobby/staircase area was fantastic if you needed to send something desperately. \n\nNext time I'm in Edinburgh, I'll stay here again, no question.
