"Logement pratique et typique"

9.0

Tres facile d’accès en voiture comme à pieds depuis le Royal Mile. La cuisine équipée c’est super et le gérant a été super.

Le matelas à ressort n’était pas très confortable, notre lit était dans un espace très humide. Certaines lumières ne fonctionnaient pas et un espace pour ranger des vêtements aurait été super !

"Overall, great spot."

8.0

Great spot within the central. Made for walking easy. Owner was nice enough to extend checkout.

No parking. Had to park in the Q Omni garage which was nice but a bit of a walk with luggage. The bed was not super comfortable to be honest.

Buena cocina y salón compartido

No recibimos instrucciones previas sobre cómo acceder Chek in y no pudimos entrar. No pudimos contactar con la propiedad al llegar. No contestó al teléfono que aparecía en información hasta 4 horas después de mandarle un WhatsApp, creando bastante ansiedad sobre si podríamos acceder. La habitación con olor a humedad y completamente desangelada. En el baño ni una sola repisa donde apoyar las cosas

"Quiet, central, and unforgettable thanks to exceptional service"

10.0

We loved our stay here. The location was perfect, a quiet street right in the heart of the city, and our room was cozy, clean, and well kept. We especially appreciated having access to a shared kitchen, which made it easy to prepare our own meals. The bathroom was clean and fresh. The management was friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions. I accidentally left my sunglasses in the room while checking out, and they very kindly sent them home to me by international mail, at no cost to me. This really left a lasting impression for me, and I felt it went above and beyond what can reasonably be expected. Next time we’re in Edinburgh, we’ll make an effort to stay here again — and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to others.

There was nothing negative to say
