    The real St Mary's Close.

    The real St Mary's Close. Amazing "Museum" which is actually a series of uncovered streets that were originally built beneath the current road, below the town. When the plague hit, the poor were entombed there. The history of it was mind-boggling. A must to see. The Mile itself just great to walk, stop, sip a drink or two. The Dome restaurant and Bars wonderous at Xmas. Fantastic array of external and internal Christmas lights, trees.

    The hotel is located at the end of the Royal Mile, so it was convenient to see the sites around Old Edinburgh. It was a 17 minute walk from the bus station and about 10 minutes from the train station. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The staff was very helpful and booked taxis as we requested. The breakfast was buffet style, and they had plenty of food to get your day started.

    Very central location, train station is close by, bus station to/from the airport is also only a few minutes away. quite happy with the room and the facilitites. Great place to start exploring Edinburgh for the first time. Giles Cathedral and the famous walking street Royal Mile only a short walk away. The hostel had some activities and recommendations almost each day, like free salsa classes, pizza night etc. Free storage lockers were great to have, I appreciated that.

    Very conveniently located just off on the Royal Mile / old town and only a short walk to the newer town. Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The hotel is large so just be prepared it could be a little walk to the room. Our room was not ready until after check in time (they were fully booked) but the staff were lovely and helpful, they collected, sorted our bags and took them to the room when it was ready and we just wondered the town.

Room was to the side of the hotel looking over a side road, so any noise from Royal Mile was minimal. There is option to request pillows of various firmness, card on bed explains the pillow options in detail.

    Get away from the Royal Mile where tourists come to snap endless photos of token bag pipers wearing kilts. Walk to the Stockbridge neighborhood, full of beautiful flats, interesting shops and cafes. Walk to the old side of the city underneath the castle for pub crawling.

  • Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood...

    Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood House with the new Parliament en route takes some beating in terms not just of historical content but also of ease of travel-it's a straight downhill walk. On the way talk to people-some of the locals actually know a lot about their City and take a pride in it.

    St. Giles on the Royal Mile is several hundreds of years old. My family attended a pipe organ recital there one evening. What an awesome and thunderous sound that huge organ made, but could produce the most delicate melodies as well. Highly recommend taking some time to study the beautiful architecture as well as the gorgeous stained glass windows and the history surrounding this or any cathedral, for there is always a history to be known.

    As a city Edinburgh is steeped in history, all the areas off the Royal Mile has a tale to tell. The city offers a number of good tours both by bus and feet for getting to know the past and how people lived. The city also offers an insight to famous personalities of the past such as Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Rabbie Burns
