This beautiful hotel is located in the perfect spot right off the Royal Mile.  It is easy to walk to the Palace or Castle from this location.  The staff was friendly and courteous during my entire stay. I greatly enjoyed staying here for a week with my family while visiting the wonderful city of Edinburgh.\n\nThe complimentary breakfast has a good variety of hot meats, eggs, beans, cold fruits, cereal, bread and croissants.\n\nThe rooms are nicely decorated and the bathrooms are large.  My only complaint is inconsistencies with the cleaning staff.  They did not change my towels.  I am fine with using the same towels for a few days, but what really bothered me was the fact that they didn't change the washcloths.  I finally left a note with a tip requesting clean washcloths, and I received one.  I didn't receive any more clean washcloths until I again left a note with a tip.  Also, they didn't leave new water in the fridge or tea packets daily, just from time to time.  I did, however get a little bonus of lip balm and a face spray one day next to my soap.
