Nice clean room, the shower is small, but I think that is typical. Great location with bus stops right out front, making it very easy to travel into the city. There were several nights we walked back and it really isn't that far. Easy check in/out. Great stay.

An excellent location to enjoy Edinburgh. An easy walk into Edinburgh (approx 30 minutes to Castle) or an easy bus ride (stop close) Some great restaurants along the walk into Edinburgh. Room was very spacious and even though it was on a major street it was quiet. Easy check in and some parking in front. Would recommend if you are in Edinburgh.

This place in my opinion is way over priced. No Aircon. Or fan to cool the room. No safe. No fridge, No place to put your clothes.the shower was either to hot or cold..ie cold. You could hear the people in the up stairs room moving about. There are NO staff to ask questions. I did have one issues and called the staff,they turned up after 15 minutes and sorted the issue out. At the price they charge there should be better facilities and staff.

Quiet haven needing some maintenance.
A lovely haven to put your head on a pillow after an exhausting day around Edinburgh. The towel rail is unreachable. The lights for the bedside didn’t work. It was quiet which was fantastic. Great location.
