Great central hotel for a city break *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

As we often make city breaks, we are always on the look out for nice central and affordable hotels. The staff was just super nice. The moment we arrived we took us on the map attractions and also always help with questions. Good English skills, as we know we unfortunately nothing about the language skills of the staff, we only'in English spoken. This place is absolutely recommend HolidayInn. No 3 minutes and you are there in the middle of the Royal Mile yet from the bustle of the city center. From the Castle is the hotel about 10 minutes walk. But also the Princess Street to shop on the border of the Newtown is only about a 10 minute walk away. We all weekend no bus rides are use of that as we could all within walking distance.
