Cheap and easy to get to

The room wasn’t very clean. Stains on drawers and dust round arms of chair and smudge marks in bathroom. We got a good price though so didn’t wish to complain. Didn’t realise we had a room in a flat. I must have miss read how it worked. Interesting set up.

affordable but sparse room for the fringe festival

This was what we were expecting, sparse but affordable accommodations during the fringe festival. It was a 20-25 minute walk to festival venues (or a 10 minute bus ride). Tight for two people, but was clean and staff were friendly. There's a friendly pub (The Regent) a few minutes away, that we used for common space as the rooms are so small. We had a lovely view of Arthur's Seat.

The property was good value for money for Edinburgh during the festival. The reception staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was quiet and the shower good. The location, close to Holyrood Palace is excellent.

Good location

Good location, was a 20 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat hike and Princes Street. The private bathroom was good and the staff were nice as well. The only thing of note was that the bed was quite uncomfortable, so just something to keep in mind if you’re a bad sleeper.

Property was fine as a place to rest your head. Room was clean when I arrived and staff made sure we were comfortable with towels, toiletries etc. It was only a short walk to the old town which was very convenient as were there during Fringe and for Oasis.
