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.

Natalia

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very small, different from what we saw in the pictures. One of the beds had stained sheets. It is self check-in, but they didn’t sent by room info in advanced, we were lucky that there was someone to ask, because there was almost no staff on the property. The bathroom was very small and had no space to put your belongings.

Bra och lugnt läge. Nära till spårvagn och buss. Trevliga pubar och restauranger i närheten. Enda nackdelen med hotellet var att vi fick dela toalett och dusch med nio rum.

Det har ett bra läge genom närheten till spårvagnar som snabbt tar en vidare till alla sevärdheter i Edinburgh. Små rum och bra sängar. Men man får vara beredd på att dela toalett och dusch med 8 andra rum.

Die Unterkunft war ganz gut, leider haben ein pasr andere Menschen die Toilette immer dreckig hinterlassen. Die Heizung hat nicht gut funktioniert und im Winter war das ein Problem. Aber trotzdem war die Unterkunft in einer guten Lage und man konnte zu Fuß in ca 15 -20 min die Innenstadt erreichen.

Het huis is erg oud en de kamer in slechte staat, de badkamer moest je delen met 4 anderen kamers. Er zou ontbijt zijn maar de keuken wordt verbouwd, de receptie was alleen telefonisch te bereiken, de hulp deed heel erg zijn best. Eens maar nooit meer.

Location is great, close to most and very close to trams, bed was comfortable. Though the shower was a dribble, and a few bits and pieces didn’t work. The communal area needs some work, don’t expect clean dishes to use or a breakfast included like we thought.

Our family loved our stay at this wonderful property! It was easy and convenient with tram and bus stops nearby as well as many excellent restaurants and services. Edinburgh is magical and this house had real charm which added to our lovely stay. The only draw back is the WiFi was spotty. This can be a challenge when traveling because most cell plans charge by data use when going international. Having wifi at your hotel becomes crucial so you don’t use up all your data. Other than that everything was perfect! Thank you so much!

Bra övernattning

Stort rum med gott om sängplats för oss fyra. Sköna sängar, rent och fint badrum, enkel incheckning enligt beskrivning per mail. Bra wifi och läget var bra med kort gångavstånd till spårvagnen. Svårt att förstå hur man skulle boka/köpa frukost, så det blev det ingen. Luktade lite skumt i trapphuset och ibland luktade det cigarettrök.
