Room really tiny for 3 People and price a little expensive for this room and shared bathroom. But the location was great and in a quiet place despite of a location nearby a lot of good stuff in Edimburg. So it was a nice trip.

Place is a bit grubby. Needs a good clean and the decor in the room requires an upgrade. Especially the the carpet

They did not serve breakfast because their kitchen is under renovation, even though hotel.com still listed as breakfast included. They recommended diner around the corner was just OK. Other than that, the room was great, the beds were comfortable, and the location was centrally located.

We enjoyed our stay. Clean and simple accommodation. You share toilet and shower with the other rooms but nothing that was a problem for us. Easy to check in and out.

I did not realize I would be sharing a bathroom with 5 other rooms. My room had an outer wall that had tape holding wallpaper together. I realize I was in Edinburgh during tje fringe festival but it was too expensive for what I received. The one staff person I saw was very nice and helpful.

Clean room and bathroom well equiped. There were only two of us in the room. I think three would have been too tight. The room had a single and double bed. Very quiet at night, close to lots of restaurants and the tram was only a minute or two away to get into the centre. A good place to stay for a short visit and reasonably priced.

The room was great for our family of 5. The room was nice and warm for our arrival and was in a fantastic location for getting the tram/buses. Plenty of eating places nearby. Would highly recommend to any families wanting to stay somewhere central.

What a lovely guest house! Couldn’t have asked for more. Rooms were immaculate, bright and light! The location was perfect and the price fantastic. We stayed on the Easter weekend and everywhere was a fortune and this place saved the day. It’s only a two minute walk to leith walk, with shops and restaurants and bars. Then another 5-10 minutes walk up to princes street, if you can’t walk that the trams stop all the way along. This is an ideal place to stay for exploring Edinburgh. We will definitely be back!

Relatively clean and definitely quiet and walkable. About a 30 minute walk from touristy parts of Edinburgh, can’t beat the value if you just need a place to sleep.

The self check-in was really easy. However, I did not see any employee dying my stay. For the cleanliness of the room, the floor was kind of dirty. I could see crumbs that weren’t mine, which is pretty disgusting. Plus, my bed was not made well at all, it looks like it was done in a hurry. On the positive side, it was very calm and I slept well.
This is the bed supposedly made.
