Drove there myself, and as advertised, there's a large car park, which is especially convenient being so close to Edinburgh Castle. I could leave my luggage in the room or car without a worry and enjoy a leisurely city walk.

Great location, right by the castle and attractions. It's also very close to museums and popular photo spots. There's a highly-rated breakfast place downstairs, and Victoria Street has many pubs frequented by locals. Overall, a fantastic experience.

Warm welcome and great location I arrived earlier than actual check-in time but the reception helped me finish it quickly. The view was great and it’s easy to get to the castle.

The hotel's location is super convenient, and the facilities are brand new. Breakfast is semi-buffet style; you can grab cold items yourself, and hot dishes are à la carte – and they taste great! Parking is available right next to the hotel in their private lot for £20, and you can park for the duration of your stay. Definitely recommend it!

Right at the foot of Edinburgh Castle, you can see it just by opening the window. The castle is right up the stone steps across the street. Shopping and dining options are also conveniently located nearby.
