Good, but not the best. Clean enough but it definitely need refurbished in some parts (locks, shower room, furniture). The separate shower room made things a bit mode uncomfortable. I've got assigned a basement room that was not stated during the booking, but still had a window as the building is on a sort of a hill. The receptionist was very kind and explained everything you need to access the property. Not crowded area but all you need is there: 20 minutes walk from the old town, bus stop right round the corner.

I had a really lovely stay here and would happily recommend it to other travellers. The location is excellent – everything you need is close by, with plenty of shops along the main street and easy access to public transport. Getting the bus was very convenient, which made exploring the area simple and stress-free. The place itself met my expectations, and I was especially delighted with both the accommodation and my overall experience in Edinburgh. A special thanks to the host, Ali, who met me on arrival and explained everything clearly – it made check-in very smooth and welcoming. If I return to Edinburgh in the future, I would definitely choose to stay here again.
