10/10 Exceptional

Such a lovely stay in this beautiful guest hotel! It had such a lovely home feeling. Very budget friendly and walkable distance to the city. If I were to make any suggestion I would say it would have been helpful to have a mini refrigerator with a microwave for meals.

Sven, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice clean room, the shower is small, but I think that is typical. Great location with bus stops right out front, making it very easy to travel into the city. There were several nights we walked back and it really isn't that far. Easy check in/out. Great stay.

It was perfect. Big room with lots of nice little touches. Bed and bedding were comfortable. Bus right across the street. 20 minute walk to the university. I would definately book again. Highly recommended.

Room was clean. Shower could be better but I was on the 3rd floor so water pressure could be affected. Nice view of Arthur seat.

kai, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An excellent location to enjoy Edinburgh. An easy walk into Edinburgh (approx 30 minutes to Castle) or an easy bus ride (stop close) Some great restaurants along the walk into Edinburgh. Room was very spacious and even though it was on a major street it was quiet. Easy check in and some parking in front. Would recommend if you are in Edinburgh.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect room, very clean and comfortable stay. No complaints at all, would book again in the future.
