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.

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.

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.

The bed was very comfortable, had a nice sized smart tv, and bathroom with all the amenities. The shower in particular was amazing. A nice waterfall shower with very hot water. Area is safe, quiet, and near the bus stops.

I was needing accommodation for one night only. This property is perfect if you require a clean, quiet place to sleep that’s close to the tram.

Reception was great. And very accommodating. Just needs a little sprucing up. New beds and pillows and carpet would be lovely. We needed a place to stay for 1 night and it fit that purpose. I left my electric toothbrush there and was able to retrieve it the next day. Very much appreciated.

There was black mold in the shower growing. It was not cleaned in the three days we were there. Wifi was spotty and didn’t work half the time.

The single room is a bit tight as is the en suite, but kept clean and the shower is good. The city centre is walkable and will have a tram system nearby on the Leith Walk when it’s finished. Parking ok on the street and is free.

Really good for the price, was a little bit out of the city centre but couldn’t complain. Staff were friendly, although there English didn’t seem very strong. Otherwise would recommend for anyone
