The location is as described. The room was tiny with an insecure door. The bed was broken. The toilet/shower was upstairs and communal. I did not stay for more than one night of my four booked nights and would not recommend this accommodation. It was, to be fair, cheap but I was expecting much more after having telephoned before arriving. More

We LOVED the little hotel because the quality to price ratio was very favorable. Our ground floor room was very cramped, but the comforter, pillows, and decorations were nice. Who bothers to make such a small room so comfortable and attractive with coordinated throw pillows? We really appreciated the extra touches and how how soft the bed, pillows, and blankets... More

I found the staff very friendly and the room clean, comfortable and cosy. The tea and coffee was replenished daily as were the towels. The room was newly decorated and had TV and Wi Fi what more do you want for the money! There is a very good bus service to the city centre that was easy to use ,you... More

(1) I got a room with shared bathroom and toilet, even though it was never indicated to me before I got there. (2) The floors in that hotel are terribly squeaking and the doors can be closed only if they are shut loudly. It was therefore impossible to sleep, since every guest who entered or had to go to the... More

I knew that in August Edinburgh is far to be cheap so I was not surprised to pay 106£ for a night in a double room in an accomodation quite far from the centre of the city. I spent a week around Scotland and I stayed in 7 different B&Bs and hotels. I've to say that, until the last night... More

The guest house was a beautiful Victorian property with lots of original features. The manager was very helpful and pleasant. We had a room on the ground floor at the back of the house and it was really far too small for two people. There was nowhere to put clothes apart from a wall mounted hanging rack, nothing to sit...

BAD POINTS. We had room 1 on the ground floor and it was TINY! It was also near to the kitchen and front door so it was quite noisey, especially when people are checking out at 5.30am! The ensuite bathroom was under the stairs. It was unpleasent and hadn't been put together very well. After using the water or flushing... More
