LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Our location on the corner of Grassmarket and Victoria Street, Edinburgh, means we are right in the thick of it, no matter what time of year you visit. There is always something going on at the Grassmarket… the hub of the old town of Edinburgh.

Victoria Street is famous as the inspiration behind the magical Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. One of Edinburgh's most photographed sites, the charming cobbled street is packed with unique shops, bars and restaurants.

The historic Grassmarket Old Town area in the heart of Edinburgh, just a two-minute walk from the historic Royal Mile, is a perfect base to explore the city!
