8.6/10 Excellent! (362 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.
