Liked: Staff & service
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!

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.

Carolyn

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This place had good ratings when I found it in January so was disappointed with the standard of the classic double room for a 3 night stay. The room had a low ceiling so getting around the bed was difficult, the furniture was dated and looked homemade from the 70’s. Tired furnishings. The bathroom drain smelled so had to ask for it to be bleached. The only thing in favour of this accommodation was its proximity to the tram which was a 5 minute walk. Also the landlady gave us advice on places to eat nearby which was useful. I suppose you get what you pay for but would not return or recommend.

Håbløs indtjeknings-koncept

Vi boede der i 4 nætter. Værelset er som udgangspunkt okay. Badeværelset var ikke helt rent og gulvtæppet var plettet og beskidt. Det værste var dog klart indtjekningen. Man bliver bedt om at ringe på en dørklokke udenfor også burde hjælpen komme og lukke dig ind. Vi ventede 40 minutter ude foran døren på trods af flere opkald til de oplyste numre, hvor ingen tog telefonen - selvom det var i indtjekningsperioden. Man vidste ikke om hjælpen var på vej da der ingen reaktion var på at trykke på knappen eller ved opkald til nummerne. Da hjælpen kom var hun sur og ydede 0 kundeservice. Virkelig god placering ift offentligt transport og midtbyen, men indtjekningskonceptet var et kæmpe minus.

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!
