    Consider checking in during the day as there’s limited communication if you arrive early.

    comfortable bed
    convenient sink
    thoughtful ventilation
    limited amenities

    comfortable stay but lacked some amenities

    The bed offered outstanding comfort, making for a restful night. It was a nice touch to have a sink in my room, as it allowed for quick freshening up.

    The kitchen area could have benefitted from additional dining options.

    helpful staff
    beautiful park view

    fantastic proximity to edinburgh's iconic landmarks and parks

    During my recent stay, I really appreciated the easy access to both the National Museum of Scotland, just a short stroll away, and the beautiful park view from my room, creating a perfect place to unwind after exploring. as a solo traveler, I found the friendly staff to be quite helpful during check-in, adding an extra touch to my visit.

    spacious room
    local dining
    vintage charm
    shared bathroom

    Spacious room with vintage charm plus real cups and saucers for hot beverages. Easy walking access to local dining spots made our evenings enjoyable.

    The bathroom setup was awkward, with shared facilities leading to some cleanliness concerns. Climbing two flights of stairs with 22 steps each felt like a trek, especially with no elevator. Wi-Fi connectivity was spotty, making it tough to stay connected. The furniture looked tired, and it could definitely use a refresh.

    awkward bathroom

    the area is great n it has beautiful old architecture. the room was clean n comfy, even had a kettle for tea. buses run frequently to the city center, which is super handy!

    we never saw any staff, which felt really strange. plus, the bathroom setup was awkward and loud, not great for privacy at all.
