Beautiful hotel on university grounds a stone throw away from the Royal Mile with great bus connections. Staff were really polite and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived to when we left. Our room was spacious but cozy, with a very comfy bed. Breakfast was delicious and we really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend.

Very cozy stay at the castle ! Nice that it was a bit further away from all the hassle. Good breakfast and very lovely staff. Bed was really good to sleep in. And loved that there was this Holyrood park close by where you could hike to see the whole city of Edinburgh! Only minus that of course because it is an old building it was quite cold inside the room but plus is I slept very well because of that :) highly recommend staying at this beautiful castle!

It’s a bit far from the old town, but it’s such a beautiful place that it’s totally worth it. The breakfast is fantastic, and you can even enjoy a whiskey tasting with one of their specialists. Overall, it was a wonderful stay.
