I had a small room with an en-suite and it was perfect for my visit to Edinburgh. Clean, comfortable, and convenient! I would stay here again.
Lisa, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The location of this place was very good. About a mile to the Royal Mile, Castle and Market. Good choices of restaurants in walking distance. 1 of the smallest places I've ever stayed at. I'm 6'0" and I barely fit in the shower. Hardly any room for our luggage without tripping over it. The people running the place were so great. So friendly. Always available for any issues we had. Their 1 son was even an Uber driver which made things very convenient.
