“The hotel's prime spot near the University district puts you right in the middle of Edinburgh's action. It's a modern, social hub with a lively bar that extends into the courtyard-perfect for groups looking to mingle. Just be aware that the central location means you might want earplugs for a peaceful night's sleep.”
