The property was well kept for the most part. Very convenient to bus lines to Old Town. Area seemed safe to walk around -residential. Water pressure in shower was very light. Not enough to wash long hair. But beds were comfortable and we had a great nights sleep.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at the hotel and unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. Despite booking a room with an attached bathroom, I was given a room requiring me to exit for bathroom facilities, resembling more of a hostel setup. A makeshift sign in the bathroom claimed exclusivity for Room 4, but this wasn't enforced, leading to inconvenience. Issues extended to cold water, a non-opening window, and an impractical TV placement, hindering the viewing experience. The promised personalized greeting at the door was replaced by a ring doorbell, and encountering staff was elusive. The absence of safe boxes and a parking area accommodating only three cars further compounded the drawbacks. The sole redeeming factor was the hotel's proximity to bus stops, facilitating easy access to the city center. Regrettably, based on these shortcomings, I won't consider revisiting this establishment.

Property was comfortable and clean, would have been good to have access to a fridge and microwave in room to store and reheat food. Room was one of two at entryway and not very sound proof, was noisy at times when other guests were coming and going. This appeared to be the only access to the downstairs rooms. Neighbouring guest television and conversations could be heard throughout the night. Overall the room and stay were enjoyable and if in Edinburgh again would consider returning to guesthouse
