The room was small but fine.
However, there was a small fridge in the room, and it made all kinds of noises all throughout the night, and that was really annoying and disturbing to my sleep.
The breakfast was quite sad and the bar, where the breakfast was laid out, was really chilly while eating breakfast.
All staff was really nice and helpful and it was a good location to stay in.

Great room in awesome location. We were able to walk to the castle, do th royal mile down to the palace and then walk up Carlton hill in a great day out, then walk back to our room from there and have a great meal and a Guinness at the Irish pub next door.
