    decent breakfast
    comfortable bedroom
    uninspiring area

    Breakfast choices excel with options like haggis, fruits, and a full Scottish fry-up. The bedroom provides a comfortable feel with everything required for a solo traveler.

    A 15 to 20 minute walk to the city center can be a stretch for some. Despite the proximity to bus stops, the location lacks immediate attractions and the surrounding area feels a bit uninspiring.

    welcoming atmosphere
    delicious breakfast
    room size
    cleaning standards

    Here’s why it’s a mixed review

    The welcoming atmosphere made me feel at home. Breakfast choices were diverse and delicious, particularly the full Scottish option.

    Room size was an issue, especially in the basement where space felt cramped. Cleaning standards were lacking with dirty towels.

    diverse breakfast
    welcoming atmosphere
    limited play space

    Our family absolutely loved the variety of breakfast choices! The kids were thrilled with the full Scottish breakfast, and I appreciated having fresh fruit available. We felt at home during our stay and found the location convenient for our day trips in Edinburgh.

    My kids wished for more space to play around.

    comfortable bed
    cozy vibe
    charming decor
    small shower
    limited space

    The room was super comfy with everything I needed. There was a nice touch with bottled water and biscuits waiting for me. I loved the cozy vibe, making it feel like a home away from home. The decor added a charming flair that made my stay even more enjoyable.

    breakfast options
    city explorations

    perfectly situated for seeing the sights and enjoying parks nearby

    the breakfast options were brilliant, especially the full Scottish, and I loved that I could easily walk to Edinburgh Castle and stroll through Princes Street Gardens, just under 2 km away, making my city explorations so enjoyable.
