The view from #Edinburgh Castle esplanade, looking back down the Royal Mile. Beautiful on a January late afternoon stroll. #merch #LifeAtExpedia
A bit pricey but a cool attraction right next to Edinburgh Castle. Offers a great view once you get to the top.

Stayed in a snug double which was snug but had everything needed. Staff helped by suggesting a bus tour which was excellent. Smart tv in room was fab.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (664 reviews)
The room and amenities and view and building and staff were all lovely. Very luxurious feeling hotel. Breakfast was delicious and there were plenty vegetarian options. The only downside is there's no lift/elevator and 47 plus stairs is a bit much for me but if you have no mobility issues 100 out of 10 would definitely recommend
