Beds are UNCOMFORTABLE (can feel springs and wood). Communications are all automated (you’re not speaking to a real person). Can hear noise on streets. No personal touches— doesn’t feel cozy. I mean, this place is right off of the royal mile, but I wouldn’t stay here again. I’d rather be farther away and have a cozier place to stay.

The positive - Fabulous location. Only half a block from the Royal Mile. The negative - Should have looked at prior reviews in greater detail. Beds were absolutely horrible. Old mattresses with springs poking out. Had to sleep with windows open and outside noise made it difficult. One of the showers kept on going cold. Photographs online made the place look more modern and nice than it actually was.

Inside is plenty clean. Beds were comfortable. I was a bit taken aback by the only entrance being full of graffiti and next to a tattoo shop. The back side of the property is featured in the pictures and very charming. The street entry is on a street with several hostels. Parking is directly across the street in the Radisson parking deck. It will cost 30 pounds for 24 hours. Cannot say enough about how perfect the location is. It is really JUST off of the Royal Mile . Happy….enough with our choice

The flat is great, and had everything we needed. 2 of the bedroom views are a parking garage, but that is just an unfortunate piece of luck for the owner. We enjoyed our short stay, and wish it could have been longer. One piece of advice: Book tickets to Edinburgh Castle days ahead!!

All beds were so uncomfortable. You could feel the springs. The pillows were so thin.

Location was clutch. Just off the royal mile. The beds were a little funky, and the bathroom inside one of the bedrooms had the most awful smell coming from it as soon as we arrived. We just kept the door shut and it was ok. Would stay here again

Our stay at Pass the Keys was very enjoyable, just off the Royal mile. The flat was very clean and quiet. I would highly recommend this place. The beds were comfortable with the exception of the double bed in the two bed room. Hopefully, they will replace that mattress.

There is likely no better location than this flat! We visited for a few days and being so centrally located at the Royal Mile made it easy to walk everywhere. We didn’t experience the high level of noise noted in other reviews and we were there over the weekend. The flat itself is quaint, it was nice having two full bathrooms. The only constructive note I have is the beds. They are bare boned and incredibly uncomfortable. The pillows were also incredibly thin; I wish there had been more of them so we could have doubled up.
