Hot water and great pressure in the showers, heating worked great. Very cute rooms. Highly recommend! Quick 3 block walk from the center of Edinburhg. ##### Max ### 8/10 Good #### Sana 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice and tidy living space and kitchen with everything you need. The garden was very peaceful. The host responded quickly to our messages which was appreciated. The room was mostly clean apart from surfaces in the bedroom being quite dusty. Small changes could be made to make the room more convenient e.g a storage unit in the bathroom to place our things or hooks on the back of doors to hang jackets. Mostly quiet except for other guests being loud during early hours of the morning. Overall, would recommend especially for those looking to stay in a quieter part of the city but still at a walkable distance from the city centre. ##### Sana Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Martin 3 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Great location, very convenient, but feeling a bit tired. Mattress sunken, mould in bathroom, things hanging off wall. Just needs a little spruce up and renewals. ##### Martin Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monisha 29 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities One of the best places I have stayed and it is close to the town centre as well within walkable distance with easy accessibility to all shops and restaurants. The room particularly was clean and warm with all amenities needed to cook. There was Alps a pound which was even comfortable to dine and watch television. Overall I am very much happy with the room and place. I would highly recommend this.Thank you very much. ##### Monisha Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Darren 24 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service #### No Heat The room was nice and clean but there was no heat apart from a small space heater that barely made a difference. The key box was a little problematic.

There are three room available with a communal kitchen and lounge area. It is a 10 min walk to the tram and a 25 min walk to the castle ##### Adrian Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Carolina 29 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not as expected Convenient location, but major issues with cleanliness and comfort. Dead bird outside the stairs that had been there for a while, dusty room with a sock from a previous guest, small pillows, and uncomfortable beds. Not recommended unless location is a top priority. Inspect room carefully upon arrival and consider other options. ##### Carolina Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew 23 May 2024 The room is big but the shower is dirty and the towels are horrendous, really old grey ans smelly. People walking in the room above are really loud. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 28 Sept 2024 #### Close but in need of some maintenance and cleaning Great location and nice to have kitchen and washing machine and lounge but needs maintenance eg door handle not securly fixed and lock box comes off wall. Noise comes through walls and bathrooms are not ensuite. Trade off with condition and privacy for kitchen and washing machine. Close to hire car. Walk to sites or transport. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Rommet stort og ganske bra.
