Fantastic place to stay. Unfortunately could not accommodate a last minute issue with my flight being delayed and i was charged for a night i wasnt there and wasnt able to just move the date.

6/10 Good

This stay was fine, in terms of location it was nice and quiet and a lovely walk into town. Cleanliness left some to be desired but it was mostly fine and we enjoyed our stay.
Hannah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and very nice, friendly, flexible host. 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.

8/10 Very good

Nice location
This is part of a converted flat in the basement of a townhouse. 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, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really nice sized room, nice bathroom and comfy beds. Our host was lovely and really helpful. Very close to centre and good bars and restaurants. Only downside is ceiling is quite thin and we had some very noisy neighbours upstairs! Overall a lovely stay and would definitely stay again.

6/10 Good

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.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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. The numbers were hard to see.
