The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was convenient. The room was clean but in need of redecorating. Tatty curtains, furniture in need of repair.

Not a serious place. Avoid unless it’s very cheap

Being denied check-in at 2:40pm even though the room was long ready, with the door closed in my face after being told in broken English to wait in the street for 20 more minutes was not the highlight of my stay (the problem was solved when I insisted and someone more senior showed up and let me get my key and move on — but still, this gave me a very sour taste).

A 30 minutes à pied du centre et à 2 minutes du tram. Chambre petite, veillote mais propre et pas chauffée en début de ce mois de Mai. Le personnel est sympathique. Tres bien pour une nuit ou deux.

A great place to stay if you’re traveling alone.

6/10 Good

I was disappointed that when we got a double room, only one seat was available, and no one on hand to answer the bell ( after 9pm) to get me another one. I also felt the staff member was indifferent to me. I did get a decent night's sleep. you wanted feedback, take note of my comments. Btw I thought the shower was excellent.

10/10 Exceptional

It's close to public transportation . It's a quiet residential area. The only issue was the construction site that didn't allow my driver leaving me at the right place. However this was not the property fault. I liked that my room had all the amenities. Also, the lady was very nice.
Patricia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not my favorite, but relatively inexpensive

Low ceiling over one side of double bed made me feel claustrophobic. Room was small, but bathroom was fine. Street was torn up with construction. Had to wake up narrow stairs with luggage.

Nice room in quiet location.

Nice small room, minor issue was only one small coffee cup, and there was an empty/used milk container on the windowsill. Cozy, very good shower and nice big TV. Quiet location.

Loistava sijainti

Budjettiystävällinen majoitus loistavalla sijainnilla. Ihan raitiovaunupysäkin vieressä, joten kulku keskustaan, kaikille nähtävyyksille ja lentokentälle käy sujuvasti. Kiva, rauhallinen ja turvallinen alue, josta löytyy myös kahviloita, ravintoloita ja kauppoja. Huoneen kunto vastasi odotuksia ja on jo parhaat päivänsä nähnyt. Huone oli kuitenkin siisti, ja WC ja suihku toimivat. Se riitti meille vallan mainiosti! Huone siivottiin sekä kahvi- ja teetarpeet täydennettiin päivittäin. Äänieristystä ei juurikaan ole eli kaikki äänet kantautuu viereisistä huoneista, mutta ei tämä ehkä bilettäjien ykkösvalinta olekaan - ja hyvä niin! :) Voin suositella Cambridge House lämpimästi ja majoittuisin itsekin uudelleen.

Perfect for what I needed

It was everything I needed for a 4 day stay in Edinburgh. It’s right on a bus line and the tram is easy to walk to. Everything was clean and the bed was fantastic. I’ll happily stay here again.
