Great Inn and location.
Great location and extremely accessible to the whole area. Coupled with the hop-on Hop-off system was great to explore. The Inn was very helpful with relocating to the first floor above the restaurant after the first night. A knee replacement was prohibitive above that. Staff was great! And, breakfast was the best. Akso, best lattes in town.

Excellent choice in central location
Great location right in the center of the action on the Royal Mile. Somehow, it was very quiet overnight! Beautiful old building that looks like it was a bank at one time. Good restaurant on the first floor, had a good breakfast, afternoon snack/ drinks, live music in the evenings til 10:30. Room was very comfortable, a tad small, spacious bathroom with good shower and heated towel rack. Staff was helpful and took our bags upstairs. One caveat, there are no elevators, so you may be walking up 2 or 3 floors to get to your room.

Great boutique hotel that is within a 10-minute walk from the bus station and located on the Royal Mile. Centrally located to all of the sites. Our room was spacious and loved the large bathroom. Great breakfast selection and staff were very friendly. Highly recommend this hotel yet you need to be able to do stairs as there are no elevators at this location.

Great place to walk around and see the sights. We were heading to the whisky experience and it was an easy walk on the mile. Great cafes and pubs everywhere you look. Very busy with pedestrians so don’t drive of you don’t have to.

The property was a perfect location for shopping, restaurants etc. It does not have a lift (elevator) but they brought the luggage up to the room. If you cannot do stairs they would not work for you. The staff was very nice and the room was large, clean and very comfortable.

The lack of elevator is not highlighted. 40-60 steps are a lot for many people. Even though I know now, I still can’t find it stated Room very nice, staff very nice. Location good except can be noisy

Truly one-of-a-kind lodging. We walked the short distance to the Inn on the Mile from the train station, checked our bags, and enjoyed a delicious lunch downstairs before heading up to our room for a respite from the busy Fringe streets. Our room was cozy, but luxurious and comfortable, and a great central location for exploring everything that Edinburgh's Old Town has to offer. Highly recommended.
