7.3Verified guest“The weather was warm, and I had a really great stay. The room was neat, bright, and had two double beds as described. Everything was generally good, except the bathroom was terrible. A nice bonus was Cafe Nemrut nearby, offering tea and coffee.”
7.3Verified guest“The room with breakfast.”
7.3Verified guest“The room was spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed, including tea and coffee making facilities. The staff were very helpful when we asked to borrow forks and knives for a meal in the room. It's on a quiet street and only a short walk to the city centre.”
7.3Verified guest“Clean room, staff always on hand to help.”
7.3Verified guest“The location isn't right in the middle of Edinburgh, so it's nice and quiet at night, but it's quite a trek into town if you don't like walking.”
7.3Verified guest“The room was spotless, very warm and cosy. The location is ideal for exploring Edinburgh, very good value for money, and you're not bothered by staff – you can come and go as you please any time of the day or night.”
