Of all the advantages of this Inn, the best was the location. I left the train station, crossed the street and there it was. Then, to go to the airport, the bus leaves from the corner of the street, not even 2 minutes walking. The Royal Mile, the Castle, the National Gallery, Victoria street, Princess street, all at 15 minutes walking tops. Perfect! Breakfast was great the first morning, then it was not possible to eat yogurt or eggs if you have breakfast after 9 am. But the day everything was available was surprisingly good. The chill out room and lockers were good too. Staff members are nice, I'm Brazilian and one of them spoke portuguese perfectly. The sheets were clean, the curtains at each bed helps the privacy. I booked a bed in a female 6 beds room with private bathroom and highly recommend it.
