Pros:

Lovely stay for myself and toddler. Room was small(but perfect for us) had all essential necessities. Buses easily located outside into the centre and many good late opening food options and supermarkets nearby. Special thanks to receptionist Rihan, very friendly member of staff, and any other staff were all welcoming also. Would book again if back in Edinburgh.

Excellent.
Pros:

Location superb, breakfast excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Nothing really, however, I wanted a quick cuppa in my room and that machine looks way too complicated. A kettle, Nescafé sachets and little milks would be so much easier. Didn’t bother having a cuppa in the end.

VISITA BREVE DI EDIMBURGO
Pros:

Camera e bagno recentemente ristrutturati, tutto molto bello, peccato per la puzza di vernice, ma non creava un grosso disagio. Buona colazione e ottima posizione per visitare la città. Staff molto carino e disponibile. Parcheggio privato preziosissimo.

Cons:

Lavori di ristrutturazione in pieno periodo estivo, ma non hanno provocato disagi.

Staff were excellent, room needs updated
Pros:

The staff were excellent, above and beyond, breakfast was good with plenty of choice.

Cons:

I feel our room could do with an upgrade, the bathroom in particular needs some work done, the white stuff round the shower is disgusting, the bedroom is a bit tired, and some of the plugs/usbs slots didn’t work.
