8.6/10 Excellent! (361 reviews)

Excellent property, well furnished, appointed and equipped, situated in an ideal part of Edinburgh Old Town within convenient walking distance of all locations. A few steps from Sainsbury’s Local and surrounded by a diversity of eateries and a minute from the Royal Mile with a profusion of pubs, cafés etc. Had an issue with the t.v. which was addressed immediately. A great property which I’d highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use again; thanks Mono Suites.

9/10 Wonderful! (709 reviews)

Good Inn, great breakfast. Amazing location, minutes to most attractions. Room warm, comfortable and clean. Hair dryer and straightners in the room. Only downside 79 steps to the room, it does say stairs but not how many. Not ideal for people with health issues. Was able to leave bags at the start and end of our holiday.
