Location:
Located in the Cowgate, an extension of the popular bar and restaurant centre of Grassmarket in the heart of old Edinburgh, this friendly hotel is a must, just a few minutes walk from the Royal Mile.
General:
The hotel is part of a complex featuring the Three Sisters Pub. The pub is very popular and is open until 1am every night of the week. On weekends the hotel is very often used by stag and hen parties. It is not recommended for those looking for a quiet and peaceful stay, but it is ideal for those looking for a lively and vibrant venue.
