Such a lovely stay in this beautiful guest hotel! It had such a lovely home feeling. Very budget friendly and walkable distance to the city. If I were to make any suggestion I would say it would have been helpful to have a mini refrigerator with a microwave for meals.

It was perfect. Big room with lots of nice little touches. Bed and bedding were comfortable. Bus right across the street. 20 minute walk to the university. I would definately book again. Highly recommended.

Room was clean. Shower could be better but I was on the 3rd floor so water pressure could be affected. Nice view of Arthur seat.

Simon, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Sven, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Robert, 2-night trip

Public transit to the property was easy and provided excellent access to Edinburgh. The room itself was very clean and well kept. No complaints whatsoever and was perfect for us!

Liliana, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

While the hotel is situated close to the centre of Edinburgh this is where the positives begin and end. We booked a standard room anticipating an en-suite only to discover we had the only room whose bathroom was situated on the landing (and included a complimentary pubic hair courtesy of another guest no doubt), leaving us dashing from the shower - wearing only a towel - to the room. There being no staff on hand to speak to, we were unable to change room and were left feeling rather disappointed.
