Staff very corteus, the room was quite small - but that was expected. The only issue is the room was very warm - so warm we had to open the window in November. There was no way to regulate the temperature

Lovely Stay!

Perfect stay in Edinburgh! Easy to check in and out and the hosts are very helpful and accommodating. Great if you need an easily accessible place to stay while touring Edinburgh. Very close to the tram/bus stops and in a quiet neighborhood!

The room was good. But, there was no lock for the toilet. The door kept opening while you are having a shower or the other thing. That made me uncomfortable. The shower was tooo hot. Even when I turned the nob to cold, it is either ice cold or boiling water. I had to splash water on to my body instead of having a shower.

6/10 Good

Good-very warm which would be great in winter but uncomfortable in the warm weather. Fortunately I had brought my fan as there was no way to cool the room-bathroom was clean and surprisingly spacious. The kettle provided could have done with a good clean and descaling so I avoided using it. Short walk from the station- also has good transport links. Easy check in process with helpful staff.

My stay at this hotel was absolutely pleasant. The hotel is easy to find and located in a great spot, making it perfect for a comfortable stay. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed, which left a great first impression. The room was clean and well-equipped, making me feel at home right away. The location was also a big plus: everything is nearby, which was very convenient. I would highly recommend this hotel!

Safe, quiet location. Moisture issue in the bathroom/shower (mild mold). Great water pressure, though. Clean, but very loudly creaky bed. TV was a non-starter. Easy to get everywhere.

Booked the room for 1 night, was comfortable, not too warm not too cold. I could hear water when someone upstairs flushed, but that didn’t prevent me sleeping. 10/10, would sleep there again.

The Staff were very helpful and friendly, gave us a fan as the room was very hot. Decor is tired and bathroom could do with a revamp. But for the price it was fine for a couple of nights.

Property was locates really close to the city central and convenient. Room was quite nice and clean. The only downside is the room key opens the front door as well. So it's safe to assume every room has the same key.
