What a great place to stay! Not only is it easy to get to (we arrived at Waverly) but everything is really well organised. It was easy to pick up the keys, there was a pint of milk and shortbread waiting for us, so the cuppa after 5 hours of train journey was secured. The place was immaculately clean and tidy and it has everything you could possibly need. The rooms are beautiful, the view fantastic. The stairs may need some getting used to but my 80-year old mum and my 5-year old son both managed just fine. Only caveat is the front room does get noisy on a Saturday night but we were warned in advance and it is the Grassmarket after all. Again, that was no problem for us at all since we chose to stay in the centre, but if you want tranquility and birdsong, well, that may not happen. We certainly had a wonderful time and the owner was very helpful and accommodating - truly a home from home.
