"Very Good"

7.0

The location was convenient to the Royal Mile and tourists sites

The room was very small. The shower needed a rack or shelve to put shampoo/soap in

"A safe, well-located gem with lovely staff."

10.0

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect, the Royal Mile is only about an 18-minute walk away and everything you need is close by. It felt very safe for me as a solo traveler.

"Good"

5.0

Colazione non prevista ma la posizione direi ottima.

Bagno piccolo e di conseguenza lavandino piccolissimo. Non c'è uno specchio in camera, non c'è una presa di corrente in bagno. Non hanno un bagno nella Hall. Un giorno è mancata la connessione Wi-Fi. Un altro giorno i riscaldamenti sono stati staccati. In pratica poca attenzione per gli ospiti. La sensazione è solo quella di guadagnare.

This was a lovely place to stay with about a 15 minute walk to most things central. More like a friends spare room in a lovely house.

"Está bien, pero no volvería"

7.0

El ingreso y la ubicación están bien

La habitación es pequeña, muchas escaleras y la cama y almohadas no son buenas. No para el valor del hotel, aunque Edimburgo es bastante caro…

"Cozy centric hotel"

8.0

Very nice place, clean, cozy. Just 15 mins walking from city center, surrounded by cafes and restaurants, plus store around corner.

My room was tiny - expected and not a problem, but absolutely no place to hand towels- that was a surprise. Little bit noisy due to road, but that was not a big issue.
