A very perfect hotel. It looks like an old house with a long history from the outside, but the interior is very tastefully decorated. The guest rooms are exquisitely decorated and casual, and I would like to stay here for a long time. The restaurant and bar in the public area are also very tasteful.

The castle hotel has a very beautiful breakfast room and good sanitary facilities. It's just that the location is a bit remote, but parking is free and very convenient.

It is located inside the University of Edinburgh, with convenient parking. Except for the lack of an elevator, everything else is perfect, but there are also hotel staff who are very enthusiastic to help with luggage, whether checking in or checking out. The front desk service is very enthusiastic and the explanation is very detailed. It's a pity that I left early the next morning and didn't enjoy the legendary great breakfast.

The hotel is wonderful in its architecture, also the room was very comfortable and quiet. The staff was very attentive, friendly and helped at all times. The only drawback was the coffee machine that didn't work and the breakfast time, which ended up being served too early: 10am.

My flight was late and I arrived at Edinburgh from London late at night. It was already past one in the morning when I arrived at the hotel. The reception was on duty and it was very nice! The room is right above the entrance, the bedding is very comfortable, and the breakfast the next day is great, but the space is limited and you have to queue up. If you have time, you can enjoy it slowly!
