Nice, Safe and clean

This hotel is safe and very nice. Price is affordable and worth. Bus stop is nearby. Dinning room was supported and huge. I would give this hotel 5 stars.

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.

We stayed 1 night for a quick visit to Edinburgh. Location was fine and cheaper than hotels more centrally located. Our room was on the top floor with many stairs to climb. Sharing a bathroom caused no issues and seemed to work well. However the room was tired and badly in need of maintenance. Tiles were loose, power sockets moved when using them, the blind, once down, could not be raised again and the tv worked intermittently (once we found the extension cable to turn it on). There were shops and cafes close by for breakfast. Overall not a great experience however it was clean and manageable for 1 night.

Our room was very small, my 6’3 father could barely stand in it. Also the bathrooms are communal, I did not see that anywhere in the listing and would not have stayed as my parents are older and don’t enjoy that. The bathroom had no hand towel and they did not provide one (they also only gave us two towels not three). My bed was not made upon arrival with dirty sheets, however my parents bed was clean. We were pretty disappointed as this building has such good reviews and old architecture

Clean but small.

We booked a triple room which was very small but it was clean and comfortable. Our main issue was the 3pm check in. We were early arriving at 2:30 hoping the room might have been available. It wasn't so came back at 3:30 still wasn't quite ready. On a city break and only visiting for one night the last thing you want is to be kept hanging around waiting to dump your bag. Could have been better organised.

Disappointing - Had a room with a double and single bed but was by myself so not good value for one person. Bathroom was shared with other guests and pretty busy, shower was not very clean and bracket was broken. Room was small, fairly clean but needing redecorated (peeling paper, ill-fitting electrical socket) and couldn't get the TV to work (don't think the channels had been programmed in).

Only stay here if in a pinch

Edinburgh is a stunning and stormy city. I had a difficult time finding something in the city center so I was very pleased with the location. It is convenient for the trains and buses. We stayed in a room which was very hot when the sun was out and very cold when it rained. We shared one dirty bathroom with 3 rooms and some one had bad aim while tinkling. The first floor was stunning and since the sign said bed and breakfast and breakfast buffet available I was excited about some Scottish breakfast in the morning. Three other families said they chose the place for the breakfast included option. Initially the worker said he’d give a refund and then he decided to quarrel with everyone and say they didn’t have a chef. To climb stairs with luggage, unite sprinkles on the toilet and floor and no customer service made me uncomfortable and not worth the price. I imagine that he’ll omit this review.

Area location was perfect near trams/buses. Quiet. Room was tiny with slanted ceiling so not suitable for a tall person, but adequate for me and my daughter. Shared bathroom.

Nice place and budget friendly!

We had a great stay, reception staff was very attentive to our needs. Place was clean, and we had quiet nights. Would stay there again. Breakfast was offered but we didn’t expect it to be. Price was right for our budget and that’s what was important to us.

Cannot recommend this place

Much smaller than expected. Not clear in the overview that it is a shared bathroom. No breakfast available. Expected more with the price we paid.

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.

Convenient location

The location is central to all the tourist sites. The employees are friendly. The hotel is clean. The main problem is insufficient water pressure in the shower.

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.
