Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I had a really lovely stay here and would happily recommend it to other travellers. The location is excellent – everything you need is close by, with plenty of shops along the main street and easy access to public transport. Getting the bus was very convenient, which made exploring the area simple and stress-free. The place itself met my expectations, and I was especially delighted with both the accommodation and my overall experience in Edinburgh. A special thanks to the host, Ali, who met me on arrival and explained everything clearly – it made check-in very smooth and welcoming. If I return to Edinburgh in the future, I would definitely choose to stay here again.

Room was small and basic but comfortable enough for a base to explore the city. Plenty of eateries available nearby and regular buses into the centre for those who don’t fancy a twenty minute walk.
