    Comfortable rooms in a quiet area

    I had a wonderful stay in the Deluxe Double Room, where the bed was incredibly comfy, and the entire space was clean and well-furnished. It was a relief to return to such a cozy atmosphere after exploring the bustling streets of Edinburgh. The location is a bit out of the city center, but the nearby bus stops made it easy to access all the main attractions. I wish the shower had better water pressure.

    stylish bathroom
    limited cleaning supplies
    blocked closet access

    The stay was perfect for exploring the city. The room was cozy with USB plugs next to the bed, and I really loved the stylish bathroom with heated towel rails! It truly felt like a home away from home, which was just what I needed after a busy day of sightseeing.

    clean rooms but could improve on amenities

    My room was spotless, which I greatly appreciated. The selection of coffee and tea was impressive and made my mornings more enjoyable.

    The amenities could use some upgrades.

    The room was comfy with great blackout curtains, perfect for our family. 😊 we found the hallway was dirty and the electric heater didn't work, making it a bit chilly.

    lack of charm
    inconvenient bathroom

    The large double room featured two comfy single beds and a small sofa, providing a cozy setting for relaxation. The quiet atmosphere and excellent shower added to the comfort. the location felt average, and while it offered good access, it lacked charm. the external bathroom was less convenient than expected.

    cozy room
    heated towel rails
    comfy bed
    low shower pressure
    basic facilities

    The Budget Double Room was cozy and had a real homely vibe. USB plugs beside the bed were super convenient. The bathroom was stylish with heated towel rails—definitely a bonus! The bed was comfy, and everything felt clean. Just a heads up, though, the shower pressure was a bit low. nice place to crash after exploring the city.
