    Lots of fun things to see and do and just a nice place to hang out. Loads of lunch spots; we would recommend the Whiskey and Haggis arcade and suggest try the Robert Burns Famous Haggis with whiskey sauce; one portion is enough for 2 people.

    The real St Mary's Close.

    The real St Mary's Close. Amazing "Museum" which is actually a series of uncovered streets that were originally built beneath the current road, below the town. When the plague hit, the poor were entombed there. The history of it was mind-boggling. A must to see. The Mile itself just great to walk, stop, sip a drink or two. The Dome restaurant and Bars wonderous at Xmas. Fantastic array of external and internal Christmas lights, trees.

    Loved walking up and down the Royal Mile, it was the Fringe Festival while were there, it was a hive of activity and street performers were dotted along the mile. There are also some interesting shops selling souvenirs, if that's your thing

    DON'T go in peak season! The historical interest is completely obfuscated by the crowds and tacky souvenir shops. Taking a walking tour with Mercat tours at least gives one interesting historical information

    Hopefully you'll get a chance to walk the entire length. Always a bustling area with lots of interesting things to do and see. Too much to list here. Check online. the Whisky adventure is a must for those who like a tipple, Camera Obscura at the castle end. Holyrood Palace and park at the other. Book the top end restaurants well in advance of your visit.

    Location was good, right by the university (which I needed) and at the back of the National Museum, 2 minute walk to Royal Mile. Room was set up as a hotel room would be. Towels, shower gel, as there was a kitchen available there were pots, pans, plates, and plenty of cleaning supplies as necessary.

    Bathrooms were really clean and exceeded my expectations for a hostel. And they were single toilets and bathrooms so you really weren't sharing it with anyone while you're using it. Location was unreal, it was only minutes walk from Princes street, Edinburgh castle and Royal mile. It was the main reason why I booked this place and it didn't disappoint. 24 hours reception is pretty handy too. Staff were really friendly as well.

    Great location. Very central to all the main attractions. 2 mins to the Royal Mile, 10 mins to Colton hill and the castle, 1 min to the national gallery. Friendly staff. Hotel was very clean. Lovely comfortable bed. Modern bathroom with a big shower. Very quiet for such a central location. Not many chanels on the TV, but we weren't in the room very much to watch it. Would definitely recommend to others, and stay again.

    Quiet clean apartment in a great location - right on the Royal Mile, just off Victoria Streat, within sight of the castle. We didn't meet Paul, but we got precise and detailed instructions about the entrance, wifi, washing machine... Perfect view (I loved sitting by the window and watching the surroundings). Almost all attractions were within walking distance. Comfortable bed (smaller size), clean sheets. Simple bathroom. Everything you need in the kitchen. We couldn't have asked for more

    The location was perfect, less than 5 minute walk to the Royal Mile, and just down the street from Bannermans which is a great alternative rock bar. The hotel staff were so friendly, had a good laugh with them, and the rooms were clean, spacious and had very comfortable beds. All in all, we had a great time and will absolutely stay there again.
