Nice and easy location just off holyrood and an easy walk into the main centre
Roman, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff, easy check in and just what we needed for a good nights rest before exploring Edinburgh

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.
Hayley, 3-night trip

Close to Arthur’s Seat and Royal Mile!

For the cost it was fine. Just a bit hot
Sumera, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Phillip, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

its good in general but if there are more dining places in the surrounding it will be much better. btw, the room is too hot so it will be good if a fan could be provided.

Susan, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fine for what it is - but get it cheap

Fine for what it is - but during Fringe Festival, it is (for obvious reasons) way overpriced.

Shared kitchen was not very clean, room was very hot
Sam, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient to everywhere we wanted to go in Edinburgh. Can’t beat the price. It was student dorm accommodations, so keep that in mind but it was just fine for a couple nights of sleep and the student staff were kind and helpful!

Great Place for the Price!

Kyle, 2-night trip

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.
Richard, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and all necessities were provided. The area is great. Super walkable and easy access to public transport. One complaint was that it was quite hot in our room. However the front desk did what they could, providing us with a fan.
Daniel, 4-night trip

Great bang for your buck. Was clean, quiet, convenient. What more can you ask for?! Reception staff were super friendly and helpful.

Handy location

Conveniently located for the City Centre. Good value for Edinburgh. Note: The 2-bed rooms have bunk beds. You will need to bring id evidence of the person who made the booking.

Increíble staff

The room was very clean and thought it was next to the kitchen and it was very noisy we liked it. However, the best was the fantastic, friendly and amazing staff.always there was someone at the reception willing to assist and be useful. Incredible people,congratulations
Maria Montserrat, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The bed was comfortable and I appreciated USB plugs in the headboard (the only place over 7 stays where I saw them). It was very clean and I appreciated the self catering kitchen with stove, oven, fridge and microwave.
