I finally got round to staying in this hotel on Boxing Day and treated us to a suite with a balcony and Castle view. Having already been impressed when using the sister hotel in Dundee, this place confirmed my thoughts on this small chain.
There are two more Edinburgh hotels in this chain, City Hotel is 50 metres from the International and the European is on Haymarket Terrace next to Donaldsons School for the Deaf.
The rooftop restaurant provides a great view of the castle.
