Great location in New Town with Old Town just few walkable minutes away. Tram & main train station nearby. Could enjoy Fringe, Tatoo, Film and Book festivals and come back to comfortable space.

I originally thought that I had reserved a suite with more beds. It worked out well anyway. The suite was comfortable and pleasant. I loved looking out over the garden. We actually saw two foxes hanging out in the garden. The staff was kind and helpful.
