9/10 Wonderful! (39 reviews)
The property was located on Hanover St which was convenient. There were plenty of restaurants and cafes in the area. However, since our room was directly above a bar, there was a lot of noise at night. It is also close to Princes St and lots of public transportation. It is walkable to the Royal Mile and tourist attractions. The unit itself had high ceilings, but didn’t feel cozy. Kitchen was functional. Bathroom lacked hooks for hanging towels and clothes.
