Excellent property for the value and location (next to major route for trams and buses to the center, restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and grocery store all nearby). Room was clean and even though we were on the first floor, very quiet. Electric tea pot with tea, coffee and biscuits were a nice touch. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. 30 minutes walk to the center and safe at night to do so. The location itself was very nice and quiet from the bustling center, really appreciated all the locally owned shops nearby.

Great value, clean room, excellent location, very nice staff. Only hitch was that the curtain for the skylight wouldn't close, but the nice lady at the front desk offered up some beers as an apology. Worked for me! Oh and they deactivated our room code prior to checkout time. Luckily there was someone at the front desk to give us an actual key card. All in all, great though.

Wonderful little spot for our quick stay in Edinburgh. The room was spotless and comfortable, with some local beer as a welcome present and a kettle to make coffee/tea. The location was extremely convenient with some excellent cafes and restaurants in the area and just steps away from bus/tram stops for easy access to the Old Town and Waverly Station. They also offer free luggage storage which was super convenient when were checking out in the morning and had some time to explore before our train in the evening. The only small downside was no AC in the room which got a bit hot during the day, but wasn't a problem in the evening.

We booked this place for our one night stay in Edinburgh. As the storm made disruptions to the trains and buses we were unable to travel to Edinburgh and the hotel was so unhelpful in this process and didn’t accommodate change of date or a refund. It’s shameful to have zero understanding of natural disasters and treat them like normal situations. Will not recommend this place at all

Lovely 3 day stay with helpful owners. Clean and tidy room with a wet room for ablutions. The Edinburgh tram service is an online booking must for 1, 3, 4, or 5 day passes creating easy travel from the airport to the city river. We bought a 3 day city pass for £10 each after we travelled from the airport (£10 return) but if you buy online before you arrive you can get a pass that covers the airport and city, search Edinburgh Trams.

No WiFi on the first day. The room was tiny and the bed was less comfortable than a couch. The staff was nice although not always available and they sometimes chatted loudly in the hallways. The walls are thin and you can hear everyone’s footsteps. Considering the price, I would stay elsewhere.

Cheap, and you get what you pay for

Started of really good. Nice people in the reception, when they were there. Last day however, our door cards stopped working at 10.45. Check out time was 11. No one in reception and it took us around 40min to get in touch with the emergency number so we could check out of our room. So, all in all good location, price is good, but costomer support when needed. One of the emergency phones was actually left behind in the unattended lobby.
