Great location. The stay was overall good. The main issue was the bathroom which did not have a fan or window so very humid and there was mold on wall and on grout so unpleasant to be in that room.

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh
Incredible location, five minute walk from the train station (though uphill) and right in Old Town. Place is clean and stylish, and the jail cell rooms are charming. Laundry was a plus.

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh
Lots of outside construction made walking a bit more challenging. Convenient alternatives. Easily walk to most attractions and Waverly Station. Clean rooms and comfy beds. Would definitely stay here again.
