Amazing location, right on the Royal Mile, beautiful hotel, lobby, and dining area.Breakfast was excellent, top tier food and service. So why the 3 Stars? Our toilet didn't flush. I told the front counter about it and they wrote it down on a sticky note and apologized, but that was it. Lucky for us we booked a 2 bedroom suite, so we could cut through the bedroom and use that toilet. When my wife a...

At a hotel this nice, I expect the service to be good enough to solve this p...

As such, they had their own sleeping spaces. The location is perfect—right on the Royal Mile and steps to Mary King's Close. The rooms had character and modern features. In addition, we enjoyed Luckenbooth's food. We feel the price was...
