Guest Reviews

- Suzanne Gradden (5/5): -
- Rebicca (10/5): Splendid place to avail sites - Loved every part of it. I had specially requested to decorate it for our honeymoon with a bunch of flowers however they went above an beyond with multiple heart shaped balloons which didn’t just surprise my husband but i was enthralled. 1000/10 for effort Despite the size of the attached bathroom it was fairly resourced
- Mateusz (6/5): Okeish stay in good location - Reasonably good location. Room was very small, dark and bathroom was separated from the room and required walk through corridor.
- Ian Michael (7/5): Nice clean B&B at a competitive price - All clean and decoration was fresh, entrance to property very nicely kept.
Excellent location for the great variety of shops and cafes on Leith walk. This particular room (room 8) is smaller in size than you might expect as it’s in the roof and with external private bathroom. I could hear light snoring through the wall fortunately not any louder. If heavy rain, being in the roof roof may disturb your sleep. Nowhere to hang clothes, fine for a single night but best if you know what to expect.
We didn’t take the breakfast option at £12 thought it may be a touch cheaper.
- Michel (9/5): - Les conseils ou renseignements que l'hôtel donne à l'avance si on les sollicite. Cela m'a vraiment été utile.
La localisation. Assez proche du centre-ville ce qui fait qu'en prenant le bus, on y arrive facilement. Pas trop proche, ce qui évite d'avoir un prix trop élevé.
La tranquillité.
Tout le personnel, agréable et arrangeant.
Les proches environs proposent facilement de quoi manger, magasins et restaurants. La petite taille de la salle de bain, qui de plus n'était pas incluse dans la chambre mais un peu à l'écart.
- Marta (8/5): Great quality for the price, would totally go back - Comfy bed and very clean room - small but perfect for a short stay Wifi connection could be improved. We had the first room by the stairs, it was quite noisy in the morning while breakfast was being set up on the ground floor.
- Momo (9/5): -
- Vera (10/5): -
- Peter (7/5): - Well located, comfortable Bathroom separate from. room & no parking , but this was as advertised ; room was small, live TV did not work
- CristianoBe (8/5): Buona soluzione per un weekend ad Edimburgo - La stanza era calda, accogliente e molto pulita, il servizio di check-in automatico molto comodo e semplice. La posizione è buona, a circa 20 minuti a piedi dalla città vecchia e ben servita dai mezzi.
La via principale a pochi passi offre tanti pub e caffè per la colazione. Ci è stata riservata la stanza al piano terra che è esattamente adiacente alla sala colazione, la mattina presto, verso le 7, si sentiva già molto rumore.
- Valérie (9/5): - Nous avons eu une agréable surprise, deux adultes dans une chambre pour 6.
Proche du Centre Historique.
Logement très calme, très bien entretenu.
Bouilloire, thé, lait sucre et petit réfrigérateur à disposition dans la chambre.
Nous n'avons pas pris l'option des petits déjeuners payants.
- Marta (9/5): A great place to stay close to the center and well connected to the airport by tram. - The location. The easiness of everything. The price. Small room a little chilly, but with all comforts
- Mariusz (10/5): Idealny na City Break. - Wybraliśmy pokój trzyosobowy z łazienką i spędziliśmy tam 3 dni. W sumie wszystko nam się podobało - pokój i łazienka fajnie urządzone i idealnie czyste, ręczniki wymieniane codziennie, wygodne materace, śniadanie płatne dodatkowo - do wyboru angielskie lub kontynentalne, świeże i bardzo smaczne. W pokoju lodówka i zestaw do kawy i herbaty. Obsługa hotelu bardzo uprzejma. Brak minusów.
- Alejandra (7/5): La limpieza hace la diferencia ! Desayuno - La limpieza , la casa hermosa . Desayuno continental con un cargo extra pero completo . La habitación extremadamente pequeña, nos tocó habitac en 2 piso así que sin ascensor cargar con las maletas . Empiezan muy temprano con la limpieza lo
Que por ahí se siente ruido !
- iris (10/5): - Great location. Good communication. Fantastic breakfast. Easy access.
- Anne Sophie (9/5): -

- Lorenzo (7/5): -
- Filipa (6/5): - Boa localização, sistema de check in autónomo e o quarto era ok. Muito barulho durante a noite, com portas constantemente a abrir e fechar, tornando-se difícil dormir. O staff nem sempre estava disponível e não pareceu muito prestável, além de que nos cobraram para guardar as malas durante umas horas até ao nosso voo, numa sala comum e de acesso a toda a gente, sem ninguém a vigiar.
- Noa del Carmen (10/5): -
- Jane Grønning (8/5): Godt sted -dårlig parkering - god semg , ren og pænt meget besværligt at have bil med .
måtte max holde 4 timer på vejen ...
- María josé (9/5): -
- Oliwia (9/5): - Ładny pokój, blisko centrum, przystanek obok

- María Jesús (8/5): Buen sitio para moverse y disfrutar de Edimburgo. - El alojamiento era una casa rehabilitada, estaba justo al lado de una parada de tranvia que te trae directo desde el aeropuerto, la ubicacion muy buena en 30 minutos andando estabas en el centro, pero el paseo era agradable, por una gran avenida llena de gente, y servicios. Super habia varios e incluso un lidl a 5 minutos. La habitacion era comoda, y cumplio las expectativas, alojamiento sin necesidad de moverse con transporte, en buena zona y comodo. La verdad no hubo nada.
- Simone (8/5): -
- Nicholas (5/5): - Bathroom was good. Shower was powerful Bed wasn't comfy. WiFi kept on cutting out. Television didnt have many channels to choose from.
- Patrick (7/5): Für eine Nacht super, gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis - Preis Leistungskurs, Stadtnah, einfacher Checkin
Sehr großer Raum, saubere 4 Betten für 2 Leute Personal wollte online ein Foto vom Reisepass, natürlich aus Datenschutz nicht übermittelt
Fenster war auf als wir ankamen Nachts, bei 3 Grad sehr kalt. Dafür hat die Heizung dann wie sonst was geballert
- Chun Yeung (8/5): -
- Cree (8/5): -
- Paul (8/5): A clean and well managed hotel a short bus ride from the centre of the City. - Clean and organised rooms. Helpful staff.
- Guest (8/5): -
- Audrey (8/5): - Idéalement situé, proche de commerces et restos. La literie n'était pas des plus confortables (trop mous à mon goût et coussins trop épais)
- Petacchi (8/5): -
- Philippa (8/5): Good location and comfortable - Very comfy and easy to check in Small with limited space for bags and the toilet/water pipes were making very loud thudding noises all night
- Waldemar (10/5): perfect, but I wish the checking in would have been without issues. - It was all perfect. I was't send the code for the key padlock, trying to call the owner on 3 different numbers and via instagram, it took the owner one hour to respond to my call, by that time I had left the location already and had to drag my luggage back
- martina (10/5): -
- Elina (9/5): Very nice stay overall - Good location. Amazing room, we got the chance to be upgraded. Everything is clean and look new. Very poor soundproofing.
Your night's sleep will depend on your neighbor, we could hear ours snoring…
- Noemi Marisol (10/5): Perfecto - Todo era ideal, la habitacion era superbonita, con todo detalle para facilitar la estancia, camas cómodas y sábanas cómo nuevas,limpio,iluminado,con calefacción, tv, neverita,calentador de agua con café, leche té,etc..baño limpio y todo muy bien cuidado, para mí perfecto.
- Liz (7/5): -
- Liz (7/5): - Location Small rooms
- Margarita (6/5): - not sure The room is very small
- vermeulen (10/5): - It was a very clean hotel and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
We highly recommend it and would definitely stay again on our next visit.
- Brien (10/5): - Rooms were clean and plenty of space. Too many edinburgh students felt unsafe about being educated on English lecture or astronomy
- Rea (9/5): - Schönes Zimmer, mit allem was benötigt wird, Fenster und Tür nicht wirklich dicht,
spalt unter Tür,Lärm im Gang hörbar
- Agata (10/5): -
- Szymon (10/5): -
- tramacastilla (10/5): - El personal es muy amable ,todo está muy limpio Pues en realidad no tuvimos problemas con nada

- Kamil (10/5): - Great value for money. Clean, modern and warm. The surprise was the refrigerator in the room. Additional electric heater. Quiet neighborhood.
- Ibrahim (9/5): -
- Stefano (8/5): Stanza forse un po’ piccola ma il resto é super! - Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo. Forse stanza piccola
- Mackenzie (7/5): - Good value for the price in Edinburgh! Great place for a quick stay Room was small, but we knew that from the photos, and we could hear everyone in the hallway from your room.
- Helliwell (9/5): - Clean,quiet.and close to Edinburgh centre. Everything was fine
- Kaminho (8/5): - 房間大
- Renata (10/5): Trevlig boende - Rent,
Nära till centrum,
Damen i köket var mycket trevlig och hjälpsam.
- Maialen (10/5): -
- Romina (7/5): Ottima posizione - Posizione Bagno e camera minuscola, la moquette
- Cintia Isabel (10/5): Genial - Todo Nada
- Courtney (6/5): Great location and a good price however, I’d say that staff could be a bit more considerate with making noise early in t - We loved the location Due to the layout of the property, the hall area is very echoey. We were woken up on multiple occasions by staff arriving at 7:30 each morning.
- Enkhjargal (8/5): -
- Maria Jose (9/5): Small but one of most comfortable places I’ve been - The room and particularly the bed was super comfortable! And the place (surroundings) was very quiet. Friendly staff. Highly recommend. The only things was the low water pressure in the shower, other than that it was brilliant
- Barstok (10/5): -
- Antonio (8/5): - posizione il wifi non funzionava molto bene
- Fulvio.biavaschi (6/5): - Ho scelto questo alloggio perché era uno dei pochi rimasti disponibili per capodanno, dalle recensioni pensavo peggio, in realtà la mia stanza non era per niente male, per un soggiorno di un paio di notti va benissimo. Pagato sicuramente troppo per quello che offre, ma era capodanno
- Jorge3248 (9/5): - La ubicación Pequeña habitación

- solak (8/5): Oldukça keyifli, tekrar tercih edilebilir. - Çalışanlar çok ilgili ve güler yüzlüydü, oldukça yardımseverlerdi. Tuvalet odanın dışında ancak kişiye özel, ben bir sorun yaşamadım. Oda temizdi ve yeterince sıcaktı. Su ısıtıcısı, çay, kahve vardı. Odada radyo bile vardı ve çok keyif aldım. Boy aynası ve yeterli ışıklandırma vardı. Yatak gayet rahattı. Konumu da güzeldi, direkt hotelin önünden merkeze giden otobüsler kalkıyordu. Eşyalarımı check in öncesi ve check out sonrası bırakmama izin verdiler, bu gezginler için oldukça önemli bence. Bu fiyata olanakların oldukça iyi olduğunu düşünüyorum. Beğenmediğim bir şey olmadı.
- Jon (5/5): -
- Ana (7/5): Bien - Habitación nueva. Relación calidad-precio. Cercano a supermercados y cafeterías. El último día no funcionó el Wi-Fi. Era muy pequeño, no cabía ni siquiera una silla. El lavabo era tan minúsculo que era complicado hasta lavarse la cara.
- Ramanayake (6/5): -
- Mia (9/5): Great stay thank you -
- Luis Eduardo (9/5): Cómodo y buena relación calidad-precio - La habitación y la cama muy cómoda, buena relación calidad-precio y ubicada a una distancia aceptable andando del centro. Poca atención de "recepción". Cuando volvimos a por las maletas (que dejamos en consigna) no había nadie para abrir la puerta (gracias a que pudimos coger una llave del cajetín para abrir y poder retirar nuestro equipaje).
