The hotel had everything we needed for a good price. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was great. The location was convenient, with a short walk to the castle.
Nothing that we didn't like.
The hotel was located in a hidden gem area of the city, just a short walk to the old center of this city. The staff was extremely kind and welcoming, and they even made me a poached egg for breakfast, which was not on the menu. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, and the facilities were well-maintained.
Nothing that I didn't like.
The location of this hotel is fantastic, being close to the Old Town and in the animated Tollcross area near the city centre. The breakfast provided was delicious with a good variety of options. The staff were very friendly and helpful, ensuring that all our needs were met. The hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained.
Nothings.
I had a wonderful stay at this guest house. The location was perfect, nestled in a lovely residential area, with plenty of shops and bars nearby that offer student deals. It took me around 20 minutes to walk to Princes Street, and along the way, I got to enjoy a different view of the castle. The rooms were always clean and tidy, with the beds made daily. The bathroom was spacious and beautifully designed. I especially loved the delicious breakfast, which was prepared by the friendly host, and the fact that I could enjoy my own tea or coffee in my room. the quality of the breakfast and service were excellent for the price paid.
Nothing negative to say.
We had an amazing time at this hotel. The cleanliness was outstanding, and the breakfast was delicious. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in a quiet area, but still within walking distance of the city center and various transport links.
