Old Town hotels

good location, close to royal mile. easy access to edinburgh shopping and university apartment clean and comfortable

This is a nice hotel within walking distance of major attractions. It has no lift so be prepared to carry your bags upstairs. Great staff and service.

I took full advantage of the a.c. In the room to cool down between a hot walk from Waverley station with my luggage and more afternoon/evening time on the Royal Mile. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Staff was very courteous and answered all my questions.

Perfect venue for our overnight stay to celebrate joint 60th birthdays.

The location of this hotel is superb. I walked outside, turned the corner, and was immediately looking at the St. Giles Cathedral. It's situated in the middle of the Royal Mile (the high street), and I was able to walk here from the train station, and walk everywhere I wanted to go in Edinburgh from the hotel. The accommodations are lovely as well. The room was very clean, well kept, and had all of the amenities I needed. It doesn't have AC but you don't need it - I stayed in the middle of summer and open windows were all I needed for cooling. Very clean and roomy (although you won't need to spend much time in the hotel in such a beautiful city). They had complimentary on-site self-serve laundry facilities as well, which is huge since hotel laundry service fees are always exorbitant.

Easy to find and the location meant that the Royal Mile is behind and Princes Street is in front. Lots of restaurants and pubs are close by as are a variety of shops. The hotel also has a lovely swimming pool, spa and gym for those rainy days. An open top bus tour is a must and a visit to the royal yacht in Leith is surprisingly interesting especially if you take the bus there and see more of Edinburgh on the way

The Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Royal Mile...its not on the Royal Mile,but it's only a stones throw away. Cowgate (the street that the hotel is on) is closely parallel to the Royal Mile and unlike the Royal Mile offers street parking, which is convenient and free in the evenings. The location is excellent. The hotel is the usual Holiday Inn, with the usual high standard of cleanliness and the usual staff friendliness. The breakfast was good, with a good choice of fare. The mobile signal was poor, but this was remedied by a trip to the front door. All in all a "canny wee hotel" which suited our needs superbly.

Hotel is perfect location for getting to everything in the city. Lovely architectural building with very helpful and friendly staff. Would stay again anytime.

The hotel was great and the views of the castle were stunning. We stayed a total of 3 nights and found this location to be perfect. The breakfast in the 5th floor restaurant was excellent and the views from the restaurant were also stunning.

Hotel's lift with hotel's card (key). It's my first expirience.
