Britannia Hotel Edinburgh
Nice & clean. Bed was too hard for my liking but for 2 nights it was ok. Only one roll of loo roll provided but more available at reception. Maybe having a spare roll in the room would have been better. Lovely view from the room. Uphill walk to the old town which took about 35 minutes.
