This is a very conveniently located Hotel - right in the middle (ish) of the Royal Mile. It is under construction and covered in scaffolding and the narrow hall leading to the elevator which appeared to be a temporary thing with plywood boards had a faint urine/port-a-potty odor. But the room was spacious, clean, and air conditioned and the staff was very helpful on check in.
