    The hotel was quite close to the centre - 30-minute walk from Edinburgh Castle. The rooms were cosy and clean, and the functioning with the code to open all doors quite practica

    We extended a night and had to move rooms which we were happy to do however it was next to the host/owner? of the accomodation and they were loud and partying which was disappointing and uncomfortable. Just make sure you don’t get the room on the ground floor.

    Comfortable clean space.

    The toilet was not clean, some hair around, some stains on the the toilet and mold and dirt in the shower. The sink and shower drain is operated by some kind of box that makes a pretty loud noise every time you use the water. Also half of the lights were not working.

    The room was decent.
