Staying at the hotel was a unique experience, given its fantastic location at the bottom of the Royal Mile, beside Holyrood Palace. The rooms offered stunning views overlooking the Physic gardens and the Scottish Parliament towards Arthur's Seat. However, accessibility could be an issue for those with mobility challenges due to steep stairs and no lift.
