Fantastic location near the water with easy walking to restaurants and Pubs. Tram service to town center is 2 min walk away. The Fingal, a unique and relaxing hotel and is must stay if in Edinburgh. Accommodations, staff, food, and drink are 5 stars all around. Recognizing that there is long term improvement going on in the area, it does not detract from the beauty and history of the area. If shopping is your thing, don't miss the incredible center located in the same center as the must see Royal Yacht Britannia.
