However, the bathroom in our room was very dirty. The silicone around the bath was orange which meant that it was quite old and dirty. We couldn’t really use the shower because of this. Beds had hairs on them right after we checked in which made us think that this place doesn’t have any cleaners. Location is very nice yes you can walk everywhere but I just wouldn’t stay here again. We really thought it was a waste of money because we paid around £700 for 3 nights and had to stay in a dirty room. ##### Sila Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda 24 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This was a gem in Edinburgh. we had a beautiful suite overlooking the street.
