This place had good ratings when I found it in January so was disappointed with the standard of the classic double room for a 3 night stay. The room had a low ceiling so getting around the bed was difficult, the furniture was dated and looked homemade from the 70’s. Tired furnishings. The bathroom drain smelled so had to ask for it to be bleached. The only thing in favour of this accommodation was its proximity to the tram which was a 5 minute walk. Also the landlady gave us advice on places to eat nearby which was useful. I suppose you get what you pay for but would not return or recommend.

My stay at this hotel was absolutely pleasant. The hotel is easy to find and located in a great spot, making it perfect for a comfortable stay. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed, which left a great first impression. The room was clean and well-equipped, making me feel at home right away. The location was also a big plus: everything is nearby, which was very convenient. I would highly recommend this hotel!

I recently had a 4 night stay. Superb location with easy access to buses and trams into the city. Upon arrival i was greeted by a lovely, helpful lady. (Having waited less then 2 mins after ringing the bell). I stayed in the single ensuite room. The only negatives are...it's a small room, no wardobe or anywhere to hang clothes. Although i compromised and used hangers on a picture rail. The ensuite bathroom takes up most of the room space. However, the ensuite was great. Powerful and hot. I found the room too hot most days but then i had brought a travel fan (which helped!) and you can only slightly open the window. I got used to the room being small but if you're a solo traveller who likes your space, maybe this isn't the room for you. All in all i had a very quiet and peaceful stay. I couldn't hear any noise as people have reported. (I was on the ground floor) no plumbing effects either of showers or toilets being flushed etc. As people have previously said this is a no frills guest house. I would happily stay here again for the location and the price and the friendly staff

I got a basement room with a tiny window. The bed sheets were dirty with stains the table top had something sticky spilled all over it. The bathroom was decent and clean but had another door opening to the back of the property and that door was a glass door so extremely uncomfortable

8/10

Good location with nice bars and restaurants nearby. Walkable to city centre and Leith town centre but also lots of transport options. The room was clean. The bathroom was clean enough but there were areas in the shower that need re-sealing and the shower floor was chipped in one area. Plenty of toilet roll provided though! Room was always lovely and warm which was nice considering how cold it was outside. Bed was also comfy

Perfect stay in Edinburgh! Easy to check in and out and the hosts are very helpful and accommodating. Great if you need an easily accessible place to stay while touring Edinburgh. Very close to the tram/bus stops and in a quiet neighborhood!

Very good value for money here. Beds was very comfortable and had everything you need in your room. Very close to a tram station where you can quickly get the tram into the main town centre in just a couple of stops making it very easy and convenient. The place did need a bit more of a through clean however, on the surface the room clean but it needed a good scrub in the shower especially, some very small mould marks to be wiped off the walls and the floor needed a good clean albeit I am a clean freak at home. Overall, I will return back to this hotel as I believe the value for money, location and comfort topped it.

Just a quick overnight before heading home to Canada. Well situated close to Tram so we didn't have to fight through the Royal Highland Show masses to get to the airport.
