“The Edinburgh Grand impresses with its apartment-style accommodations, blending historical architecture and modern luxury. Its central location puts guests steps from Edinburgh's attractions, though some past visitors have reported noise issues in certain rooms, and problems with some rooms, so I suggest you check yours. The Hawksmoor restaurant adds a sophisticated dining option to this otherwise excellent experience.”

excellent location quality information
The location is excellent. It is close to shops and attractions. Staff assisted with luggage (I appreciated that). Our room was equipped well. It was spotlessly clean (that is so important!). The breakfast at the Register Club was recommendable. I also enjoyed drinks at Lady Libertine. Joe and her team provided quality information about hotel facilities.
The windows aren't double glazed (I could hear trams).
