Guest Reviews
- Songul (9/5): -
- de bergen (8/5): - L'emplacement La fenêtre ne fermait pas
- Brambor (10/5): -
- erkan (3/5): Kötü rezalet hijyenik değildi - Merkeze cok uzak değildi sade Cok Temiz değildi odalar , çalışan arkadaşların pişirdiği yemekler cok ağır ve kötü kokuyordu . Herkesin tek kullandığı wc cabası oldu
- Vinicius (8/5): Ótimo custo benefício. - Quarto muito bom e confortável. Ficamos apenas uma noite. Localização boa, em 15-20 minutos de uma boa caminhada pela cidade chegamos aos principais pontos turísticos. Limpeza estava Ok. Recomendo a estadia.
- Florencia (8/5): Buena relación precio - calidad. Volvería a hospedarme aquí, en una habitación un poco más amplia - La habitación confortable, muy buena la cama. El baño un poco chico pero con todo lo necesario. Con pava eléctrica y todo para preparar café, te o chocolate, de cortesía. También agua mineral y galletitas. Estuvo a disposición el salón para desayunar, con vajilla completa, microondas, y heladera. Muy cómodo para prepararse el desayuno. El personal muy amable. La ubicación cerca de paradas de bus y tranvía, tiendas, bares y restaurantes. Bien conectado con el centro de la ciudad. La habitación un poco pequeña.

- Caroline Midori (10/5): - Excellent location, close to a station that connects to the airport. The staff was very attentive, and the cleanliness and organization were impeccable. The bed was comfortable and exceeded my expectations.
- Charlène (8/5): -
- Constance (5/5): Wir werden nicht wieder kommen. - Die Betten waren gut. Mit Bus und Bahn um die Ecke kann man überall hin. Das Zimmer ist renovierungsbedürftig. Für ein Dreibettzimmer gab es genau 2 Handtuchhaken an der Badezimmertür und 2 Kleiderhaken an der Eingangstür. Das Bad ist extrem klein. Wir hatten ein schmutziges Handtuch, welches aber am 2 Tag ausgewechselt wurde. An der Klobürste klebte der Dreck vom Vorgänger.
Leider gab es für den Preis noch nicht mal Frühstück. Kontakt gab es auch keinen da Check in und Check out über eine Schublade im Flur erfolgten.
- Leire (8/5): -
- Jade (7/5): Confortable au centre d'Edimbourg - La localisation du logement était superbe. La chambre était confortable. Pas vraiment de personnes présentes pour le personnel. Tout le monde peut accéder aux clefs facilement. Nous avions pris une salle de bain privative mais, la douche ne fonctionnait vraiment pas bien.
- Paulo (9/5): - Very confortable. The room wasn't soundproof.
- Mendonca (9/5): - Fácil acesso ao centro, funcionários prestativos e limpeza excelente.
- Leisl (8/5): Comfortable and affordable stay in a historic home - Spacious family room for 4. Clean, pleasant, comfortable, affordable and convenient location
- Christie (10/5): -
- Miriam (10/5): -
- Chinawat (8/5): -
- Gizem (8/5): - Although the hotel is a 30-minute walk from the city center, the walk is pleasant, so it wasn't a problem. The bathroom is clean and beds are comfortable. There was a strange smell in the hotel hallway.
- andrea (9/5): - Buena ubicación.
Habitación cómoda, con todo lo necesario! Estuvo todo correcto para una noche.
- Martinez Bressan (10/5): - Muy practico
- April (6/5): -
- John (7/5): - Clean, easy check in/out process and within walking distance to the city center.
Good tea/coffee/hot chocolate/water/biscuit tray in room. Could have been improved by a bedside lamp and black out curtains - too much light in the morning and not enough at night. Small points, overall stay was good :)
- Guest (10/5): -
- Zeitune (10/5): - Súper lindo, ordenado y limpio
- Vera (8/5): Bastante agradável - Tudo limpo e arrumado. O quarto era grande e tinha todas as comodidades. Nada a apontar
- Shannon (8/5): -
- Sergio (8/5): Porcoddio che bella sorpresa - Ottimo prezzo e buona zona La grandezza della stanza era ridotta
- Gilding (8/5): -
- Ghimire (10/5): -
- Michalina (10/5): Great for short stays - Fantastic location! Close to bus and tram stops, grocery stores, and plenty of restaurants and cafes. Check-in was very easy, with self-check-in. The staff was very polite and helpful (via text). Towels were changed daily and beds were made. Tea and coffee making facilities, water, cookies, and hot chocolate were available—everything was great. The bed and bedding were incredibly comfortable. Toiletries—soap, shampoo, and conditioner—were also provided. Reasonably priced. The view from room number 7 was beautiful. If I travel to Edinburgh again, I'd happily stay here again. It's clear the property isn't new and requires attention to detail—replacing the silicone in the shower, re-gluing wallpaper in the corners, washing the windows, and removing mold in the shower. Otherwise, it's clean. The doors aren't soundproof—you can hear other guests walking in the hallway. Breakfast is temporarily unavailable—renovations are underway. A very troublesome attic slope.
- Roderick (8/5): A lovely old house and good location - Loved the bath, even though out in the corridor but not a problem.
Lovely room although an awful lot of wardrobes.
Comfy bed.
Could look out the window/french window but not able to unlock to air room.
A beautiful old Victorian house. Dining room not in operation. Had to plug the kettle at the nearest socket on floor.
Probably was a point somewhere.
- Bassino (8/5): 4 giorni ad Edimburgo - Posizione strategica a pochi minuti dalla fermata dei mezzi pubblici, frequenti e puntuali.
Presenza di locali e market a pochi passi.
Il gestore è stato efficiente e disponibile alle nostre richieste. Possibilità di lasciare i bagagli sia prima del check-in che dopo il check-out. Se dovessi consigliare un intervento migliorativo della struttura penserei a una toilette nell'area comune a disposizione degli ospiti e toglierei la moquette per questioni igieniche
- Hannah (7/5): -
- Arkadiusz (8/5): Great location - Location Very tiny room
- Mandy (8/5): Handy location for show at the play house, very easy to check in and out of the property. Thank you ☺️ - Handy location, good parking. Nothing.
- Mclachlan (9/5): - The place i thought was perfect, room had all u needed. Shower was very very weak.
- Laura (10/5): -
- Kirsty (8/5): -
- Tiffany (7/5): Rapport qualité prix très convenable - La grande chambre qu'on avait (en même temps on était deux pour une chambre de 6), l'accès facile, c'était aussi propre. Le pommeau de douche était cassé (ça a pas l'air nouveau) On l'a signalé, à voir si c'est modifié. Les fenêtres sont légères, mais font quand même le travail.
- Tetyana (10/5): - A wonderful large room with 4 beds. Cleaning every day, warm, lots of light. We loved everything! I highly recommend it!
- Camille (9/5): Super séjour! - Proximité des transports en commun. Nous avons eu un problème avec notre poignée de porte et les propriétaires ont été facile à rejoindre! Il n’y a pas d’air climatisé ou de ventilateur dans les chambres, donc au 3e étage il fait chaud.
- Margarida (8/5): Great stay - Great location and very comfortable N/a
- Maria Elena (8/5): - La flexibilidad, para hacer el check in, dejar maletas...
Las habitaciones estan limpias, no recien renovadas pero con todo lo necesario. La cama muy comoda. La presion del agua es muy debil.
- jose claudio (10/5): -
- Michiel (8/5): Convenient stay after visiting Edinbugh - Good location, comfortable rooms, tea and biscuit available Sound from the street was a bit annoying
- Zofia (9/5): -
- Soufian (4/5): - Vicina al centro e comoda, insonorizzata Il bagno non funzionava ed era spesso occupato (attenzione al WC)
- Alessio (7/5): -
- James (6/5): Pleasant - It was a lovely stay. The bed was very comfy and a nice cosy room. The only thing that could be better is the switch for the shower outside the bathroom is faulty. It must be a loose cable underneath. The button and the surround has to be held in for about w mins for the shower to work
- Paul (9/5): - Great location,comfortable,clean.
- Happy Vacations (10/5): - Very good location, you can get there in 45 minutes by direct train from the airport, and 20 minutes to the central railway station. The room was warm, there was a separate shower and bath, a shared refrigerator, and a common room where you could eat and leave your things. There is a kettle and tea and coffee in the room. I am very happy with everything and recommend it. Personally, I had some noise from the street, from passing cars, and a very soft bed.
- Emil (7/5): God værdi for pengene - Der var gode bus forbindelser ind til centrum. Gode indkøbs muligheder og spisesteder i nærheden.
Det var meget billigt at bo her i forhold til andre steder.
Der var behagelige senge og fjernsyn.
Det var super nemt at checke ind og ud, og informationerne fra personalet var rigtig gode og nemme at forstå.
Hvis man leder efter et udmærket sted at overnatte, fordi man alligevel skal opleve byen, så er dette sted mere end perfekt.
Vi var meget tilfredse med værdien for pengene. Hotellet var på ingen måde misligholdt, men det var heller ikke decideret velholdt.
Der larmede en del mellem værelserne.
- Linda (10/5): Loved it here great service close to town will be coming back - Fab service room was cleaned n beds made everyday ..bottles of water coffee tea etc everyday were left in the room Nothing was great
- Roberto (9/5): - Ottima posizione, tra il centro e la zona portuale.
Camera essenziale (noi avevamo la 4), bagno piccolino ma dotata di postazione per il the/caffè, adattatore per le prese elettriche, asciugacapelli e biancheria da bagno.
- Filip (9/5): Przyjemny hotel w dobrej ceni - Dobra lokalizacja oraz wyposażenie pokoju.
Herbata, woda i kawa uzupełniana codzienne.
Pokój był ciepły. Lekko skrzypiąca podłoga
- Fabrizio (7/5): - Autonomia dal check in al check out
Tipologia di struttura (guesthouse) Posizione (anche se bus comodo)
Pulizia migliorabile
- RAMA AHMAD MOHAMMAD (7/5): -
- Janusz (7/5): -
- Madison (9/5): - Beautiful and clean Temperature
- Sharma (8/5): -
- charlotte (1/5): - The room itself was an okay size and cleanliness was good. No staff to be found for the two days there in person.
Felt unsafe, lack of safe luggage area and the code universal nature peanut anyone could take room keys. Also booking through, I am now receiving many issues as my data was breeched and shared and keep getting scammers due to booking this hotel. Would avoid at all costs, no staff member even once said hi, leaving dirty dishes about and all guess work involved.
- Sarah (8/5): - Camera non molto grande ma funzionale, il letto comodo e pulito. In camera c’era un buon odore.
Abbastanza ben collegata con gli autobus per il centro città Bagno e doccia un po’ piccoli
- BABU (9/5): -
- Nina (8/5): -
- Ricardo (8/5): Basic but clean and comfortable room - Clean room close to city center low water pressure in the shower
- Alan (3/5): - Not much, because no staff on arrival, wrong room and latch on doors didn't lock, had to use a shoe to go to the bathroom, otherwise my friend and I would have been locked out. Bed good though. Terrible, only thing going for it was location
- Laura (9/5): -
- Ann-Sophie (8/5): - Chambre très propre, lit très confortable et très bien situé !! Tram et bus à côté, et centre ville facilement accessible à pied Il est vrai qu'il manque un peu d'isolation, ce qui n'empêche pas de passer une bonne nuit tout de même
- Nicola (6/5): -
- Hugo Gerardo (7/5): - desayuno basico, habitacion comoda, camas comodas, calefaccion, ubicacion se corto la luz.
- Rosa (8/5): -
- Jeremy (5/5): - Comfortable warm room Didn't realise I would be sharing a bathroom.
The TV was internet based which was inconvenient.
I couldn't reset the Netflix account
- Prasad (9/5): Superb!!!! - Everything!!!! The service and cleanliness was amazing… Nothing much!!! Just bathroom was little congested thats it.

- Akhil Karuvelil (10/5): - Best value for money Plug point for kettle is not near to table but it is near to the bed
- Pankaj (1/5): Horrible management but good location. - Location was fantastic and it was easy to find. I had to move to a different room because another couple took our room keys with a private bathroom. We had a late check-in and therefore we had to move in to the room with the shared bathroom. Therefore, never arrange for late check-ins in this address. Other people can steal your key and stay in the room you have paid for.
- Ingrida (8/5): Good - Good location. Clean. Comfortable bed. Easy check in and check out.

- Killa (10/5): -
- dimitra (4/5): -
- Della (7/5): Lovely big clean room - Lovely beds. Lovely powerful shower On the website it said b&b but no breakfast was available
- Martin (10/5): Warm and comfy, with everything you need - Large towels, hot shower, hot radiator, stable WiFi connection, comfortable bed. We appreciated the fully-stocked tea/coffee station (with biscuits!) Having access to a communal fridge downstairs was very helpful (and unusual.)
- Louise (8/5): Good! - Really nice property, very good location quiet street, room nice and spacious bathroom clean The stairs heading to the second floor are on a bit of a wonk not good when drunk
