    great stay with easy access to edinburgh's best attractions

    I found the room to be nice and clean, with a comfortable bed, made my nights restful, and I loved that it was just a 20-minute walk to the city center, making it super easy to explore the National Museum of Scotland and discover amazing views at Calton Hill.

    Location: the hotel was close to city centre, the old town and festival theatre. The staff were efficient and were always there to help. The room was tastefully decorated with a shared bathroom and the location was stunning...

    smooth check-in
    inadequate heating
    flushing toilet

    The check-in process was smooth and quick.

    Unfortunately, the heating in our room was inadequate , especially since we were in Scotland, where it can get chilly. We were provided with one extra heater, but it didn't suffice for the size of the room. We also faced issues with the toilet. It didn't flush well, quite inconvenient, and the toilet seat was awkward as it slid to one side every time we sat on it.

    clean spacious room
    clunky communication

    Convenient stay with a cozy vibe

    I appreciated the clean, spacious room with soft towels and comfortable beds. The keypad entry was a convenient feature as well.

    The communication prior to arrival was clunky, and I missed having breakfast options nearby. The lack of a reception made checking in somewhat confusing.

    bright room
    comfortable beds
    prompt communication
    thin walls

    The room itself was large and bright. Despite the creaking floor, it didn't disturb us much. The additional heaters were appreciated, but we didn't need them since the room was cozy. The beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed having free coffee, tea, cookies, and milk in the room. Communication with the host was prompt, and the check-in process was smooth. The bathroom was a bit cramped, not ideal. Security felt good with card access, but the noise from the thin walls made it tough to sleep at times. It had great potential, but some minor adjustments could make it even better.

    security feature
    lack of reception
    dated bathroom

    Free parking, large room, convenient keypad entry

    The unlocked back door is a security concern!!! Dated bathrooms could use upgrades, and the absence of a front desk was quite confusing at arrival!!! Moving furniture shouldn't lead to angry responses from management.

    clean facilities
    comfortable room
    dated fixtures
    low water pressure
    limited privacy

    The comfortable single room provided all basic amenities at a reasonable rate, perfect for attending events. Shared facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the quiet environment allowed for restful nights. A nearby bus stop made exploring the area convenient, and the food options, like the octopus millefeuille, were indeed nice. Issues with the shower's water pressure and some dated fixtures detracted from the overall experience.

    cozy room
    convenient breakfast
    inadequate heating

    pleasant stay but needs some improvements

    The room was cozy with a sink, nice for easy use without sharing. I enjoyed the tea/coffee facilities, made for a warm welcome. The comfortable bed ensured a good night's sleep. The option to have breakfast delivered to my room was convenient and a lovely touch.

    The heating could have been better for a more comfortable experience.
