Amazing. Fully stocked fridge and kitchen with food all complimentary. Great location right next to the tram line. Only lost a star because of the extremely thin walls meaning we could hear everything from the adjoining room... and I mean everything!

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!

Anthony & staff were very helpful. This property used to be a B & B, but I assume "C" may have changed their marketing. WE stayed in the old/front part - they have numerous types of rooms, on several levels. The property is walking distance to all of your wants/needs & about a 20 - 30 minute walk to Brittania & historic downtown. Their kitchen appeared to offer every type of cooking option & the tram system stop was a 2 minute walk, at most. NOT 5 star, but great location, comfort & staff. - SPA007
