Cheap and cheerful.Clean.Value for money

A nice place to stay for a night. No frills. Clean and tidy. Parking for a couple of cars to the rear, but these are tight spaces. Bus stop right outside will take you into the city centre (about a 20 min bus journey). Tea and coffee/shampoo and conditioner supplied. Breakfast was continental and nice.

There was a very small parking area to the rear. The property entrance hall and stairwell need refurbishing - large stained areas on carpet. Room was adequate and beds were comfortable. No disturbance but a lingering smell in room, partly a drain smell from shower. Needed a spare key for my son butvthere wasn't one. Good, frequent bus system, into Edinbugh, from stops very close by.

We loved the fact you can grab a bus to take you into the city, so close. The wonderful lady in the morning got to know us and confirmed our coffee and toast order. She knew us and was so warm and friendly . This place is perfect to sleep, grab your breakfast before you head out for the day to explore Edinburgh. When you are on vacation it hits the spot and I would come back again in a heart beat and stay with you all.
