Wonderful stay - would highly recommend

Really impressed with this place, especially for the very fair price we paid. Convenient location about 200 yards from tram stop. Really spacious room which had small kitchen facility as added bonus. Staff friendly and luggage storage helpful. Only gripe was that our shower in the en suite bathroom did not work v well

Clean and comfortable

Charming older building a short walk from coffee shops, restaurants and Edinburgh’s excellent tram network and public transit. The room was tidy and serviceable, staff was friendly and responsive, all at a great price point. It’s not the Omni, to be clear, but it’s a comfortable place to use for exploring Edinburgh. Do note that there are stairs to the rooms so keep accessibility in mind.

Nice stay

It was a good stay for one night.. we had to rush from the centre before 9 pm to avoid the late check in charge, which we cane to know only after booking! We did have a good night sleep. Breakfast is self catered. The kitchen facilitates were good. We were informed that TV channels didn’t work due to the work being carried out in the property. The property was not noisy 👍 It is well connected to the centre by a tram line just outside 👍 I’ll be happy to come back for a stay here again.

Positives: friendly staff (when around). Good sized rooms and fairly new bathrooms. Fridge in bedroom with milk, juice, cans etc. Large kitchen area to cook own food and fruit/milk etc provided. Close to Tesco and park. Negatives: Unclear how to get to the rear of the property to park and parking is touch and go whether you will get a space, especially with workmen using up spaces. Paper thin walls inside the stone building. Had to move after the first night as (what I now believe was someone in the private area below me) was watching an action film very loudly until 2am. Then the builders re-doing the roof start noisily at 8am. The next room on the same floor was quieter but only as I had an elderly lady in the room next to me. However, I could hear her coughing as if she was standing next to me. Duvets were thin and pillows very hard. There was an oil heater in the second room but my first night was chilly. Both rooms had a shower where the shower head wouldn't stay in position on the wall. Had to wash glass cups in both rooms as they had bits on them. Overall, I would not recommend - most things I could put up with but the noise issue is the deal-breaker and, for the price, it definitely is not worth all the negatives.

Great location. Comfortable bed. Well stocked fridge and snacks in room. Use of kitchen facilities very handy. Need earplugs as there is sporadic street noise at night. Ideal location for nice cafes and tram into the city.
