The Inn Place is a 4-star hotel on Cockburn Street, the curving street that climbs from Waverley station towards the Royal Mile. It suits you if you arrive by train and want to drop your bags without crossing half the city.
Location and getting around
St Giles’ Cathedral, on the Royal Mile, is about a 5-minute walk away, as are Waverley station and the Scott Monument on Princes Street. The National Museum of Scotland is also about 5 minutes away. Edinburgh Castle and the Grassmarket are about 10 minutes on foot, and Calton Hill is a similar distance.
If you plan to climb Arthur’s Seat, allow around half an hour on foot. For more options in the area, see our guide to hotels in Edinburgh.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have a private bathroom with toiletries, a flat-screen TV, a desk, heating and an iron. Some face Cockburn Street. Reception is open 24 hours, which is handy if your train or flight arrives late.
In the morning there is a buffet and continental breakfast. There is no sign of a restaurant for dinner, but on the same street and on the Royal Mile you will find bars, cafes and restaurants.
