The room was exactly as it looked in the pictures. Very clean, and great conditions. Also, we had breakfast included and it was fantastic! The staff was also very, very kind. The only bad thing, was that when we got there, the room smelled a bit like cigarettes, but after some hours of the window open, it was fine. But definitely I would a 100% recommend this place!

Craig is an excellent host and very welcoming. He spent quite some time explaining the area to me - restaurants and best routes to walk in Edinburgh. I loved my room! It had everything I needed and it’s so handy having the fridge with complimentary drinks available. The kitchen is so generous and a great addition for breakfast. You can cook your own meals as well. The tram into town and from the airport is a 2min walk from the property. I’d definitely stay here again! Thanks again, Craig!

Lovely staff and great location

Everything we needed was covered. The staff were very friendly, the room was comfy and well equipped. The en-suit was spotless, and the use of a kitchen downstairs was ideal. There was no shortage of complimentary snacks and drinks. Check in and check out was swift, and having parking on location was ideal. It was well connected to Edinburgh, with a tram stop near by, and plenty of local amenities. Would absolutely stay here again!
