4/10 Fair

The room was good. But, there was no lock for the toilet. The door kept opening while you are having a shower or the other thing. That made me uncomfortable. The shower was tooo hot. Even when I turned the nob to cold, it is either ice cold or boiling water. I had to splash water on to my body instead of having a shower.

KRISTY, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very tired property

It’s just a collection of odd rooms in a house. Furnished rather poorly it’s not the sort of place you would want to spend all day sheltering from the rain, even if the facilities were there to do so. Very very basic room but well cleaned.

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!

2/10 Poor

Really needs a good clean and scruce up. Walls are so thin can hear the whole household. Bathroom fan sounded like a generator. Really not worth the budget price.

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!
Rebecca Cao, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Well situated for what we needed.

Just a quick overnight before heading home to Canada. Well situated close to Tram so we didn't have to fight through the Royal Highland Show masses to get to the airport.
Jamie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, comfortable and close enough to walk around Edinburgh and see some of the sites. Couldn’t have picked a better place.
Brooklyn, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
