Pros:

perfekte Lage am Grassmarket,
alles super professionell, sehr gutes Frühstück.

Cons:

recht hochpreisig, aber Service und Lage sind halt exzellent.
dazu war auch noch Fringe Festival, was die Preise immer explodieren lässt.

Overall, it was a wonderful hotel that was located in locally to key restaurants and events.
Pros:

The location of this hotel was great! The front desk staff was helpful and willing to answer any questions. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean.

Cons:

Of all our accommodations while in Ireland and Scotland, this one was the most expensive. We understood that this was due to the Fringe Festival that was being held there.
When tourists are traveling out of the country, it is so important they know about parking accommodations early.
