    The friendly staff, the room, the view, the pub, the location. They offered an early check-in (small fee), and also had a bag check so I could walk around town. I felt secure at night. The bar staff was kind enough to give me a glass full of ice...

    In the heart of the Fringe action, this Inn was an oasis. Well appointed and a pub on the main level - it had everything we needed.

    The location of the hotel was perfect since I was mostly staying near the Royal Mile. It is literally in the middle, can't go wrong there! The only downside for me was I had a suitcase and a bag that I had to lug all the way to the top floor since...

    It was as our second time there and we love it. You need to be prepared that there is no lift, stairs only, but the staff can help with luggage. The only reason I didn’t give it all tens is that we really enjoy the pub downstairs and it was closed...
