2 night stay
Pros:

The location is perfect and we were lucky to get free parking under the hotel. We took bus into Edinburgh from the bus station and that was no problem.

Cons:

Our room felt too small with just a double bed. We had been before and had a huge room with a bigger bed. If we went back I would definitely check which room size we had and that we had a king size bed.

Although we found the staff over the top friendly and quite helpful, I think we would pass on another stay.
