Muiz, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The primary down side is that there is no noise curfew. Also not really a common space to hang out and the toilet and shower closets are quite cramped. Otherwise, super helpful staff and fantastic location. I was grateful for air-conditioning in the room. I would consider staying again when under 18's are at school.

The location is really convenient, nearby every tourist attraction places. However the toilet is not too clean. But I only stay for 2 nights so it’s acceptable
Nhung, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

It probably worth the price. Poor mattress and pillow, constant in and out from people until almost midnight, craking bed. You must be ready for company, strangers from anywhere around you all the time. Located downtown so you are near of every touristic attractions in Edinburg. Additionnal fee for a towel (3£), padlock (4£), morning breakfast (5-6£) Small showers and toilets. (~1m2)
