Lovely rooms at a great price
Very friendly and helpful staff, close to transport, and walking distanse to major sights. Lovely view of the back garden (with cute cats). Will absolutely try to book again on our next visit.

Great overall
Great overall, nice room with all necessities. Didnt meet the owners much but what little we spoke to them was very pleasant. Check in and checkout was very smooth.
John, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We where in Edinburgh for our honeymoon and stayed in room 14. It was so nice, clean and cosy. We would definitely choose it again another time.
Linda, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location was ideal for exploring. A fast walk to the castle and royal mile and bus stops a few feet from the door for any other exploring you may want to do. There are some great restaurants and a couple of groceries stores within a few hundred feet. The staff and the room itself were wonderful! Everything was very clean and everyone was so kind. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

8/10 Very good

Property is quaint and quiet. We had issue with the shower as the drain is barely working. we reported it to the staff and they tried to schedule a plumber but unfortunately it took longer and we left already. Staff are friendly and accommodating.
Joseph Keith, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty dusty floor, broken wardrobe, dirty dusty bedsheets, stained pillows, bathroom towels that didn't seem properly hygenised.
Filippo, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Kind of dated hotel. It was clean but you could see everything was used heavily. The room was small but okay for two person, we had a three person room tho. In de room was carpet which made the bathroom door not able to open and close properly. In the bathroom was no room for toiletries and the shower had no ladge. The bed was okey but 1,40 m and a little hard. The personnel was very kind and there was a possibility to store luggage after checking out.
Martijn, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

In general, it was a comfortable stay and a great location in Edinburgh. The room was clean and I noticed the room was tidied daily while I was out for business. I believe the owners try their best to offer an excellent stay for guests. Nonetheless, I need to point out some issues. I have seen a mouse in my room. This might be an issue for the whole building. For this reason, one cannot bring any food inside. Also, there were no curtains so the room is already very bright early in the morning (in summer). The window is a single pane and might bring in cold air in winter, but room temperature wasn't an issue during my stay.

Det var rent, men meget gammelt og slidt. Værelset og badeværelset var meget små. Ligger 15 min. gang fra midtbyen og slottet.

Lovely place to stay in Edinburgh
I highly recommend this hotel. Location is perfect. Our room on the first floor was spacious, comfortable, clean. (Our family members staying on the top floor had a much smaller room, though.) Had a great view of the back garden and church steeple from the window. Very quiet considering you are in the middle of the city. Self check-in was easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Wifi works great. No breakfast included.

Enkelt hotell nära centrum med bra frukost
Enkelt och bra hotell som ligger nära centrum och om man inte vill promenera så går det flera bussar strax utanför. Frukosten var bra, och servicen vid frukosten var hög, personalen kom snabbt och tog beställning på den varma maten som man hade valt från deras meny. Helt klart prisvärd.

It was a good walking distance to Olde Town - fine for us. Monica and staff were always helpful. Breakfast was adequate with good timing. Room always clean - down side is it was quite small. But we managed and we enjoyed our stay.
