Highly Recommend!
My friends and I had a great stay at the Cairn Hotel! We were in an apartment style room that had everything we could possibly need for our 3 nights (comfortable beds, multiple mirrors, a space heater, etc). We felt safe in the room itself and the location overall is great, only about a 15-20 minute walk from the Royal Mile and Holyrood Palace. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable stay in Edinburgh with nice and welcoming employees.
