Convenient location
The location is central to all the tourist sites. The employees are friendly. The hotel is clean. The main problem is insufficient water pressure in the shower.

Relatively clean and definitely quiet and walkable. About a 30 minute walk from touristy parts of Edinburgh, can’t beat the value if you just need a place to sleep.

Location is great, close to most and very close to trams, bed was comfortable.
Though the shower was a dribble, and a few bits and pieces didn’t work.
The communal area needs some work, don’t expect clean dishes to use or a breakfast included like we thought.

Our family loved our stay at this wonderful property! It was easy and convenient with tram and bus stops nearby as well as many excellent restaurants and services. Edinburgh is magical and this house had real charm which added to our lovely stay. The only draw back is the WiFi was spotty. This can be a challenge when traveling because most cell plans charge by data use when going international. Having wifi at your hotel becomes crucial so you don’t use up all your data. Other than that everything was perfect! Thank you so much!

The staff was responsive and friendly. Overall the stay was nice, the only thing that made me not give them 5/5 is that we booked a triple room, upon arriving to the room only 2 bath towels where found, and even tho we asked for an extra towel through Expedia chat nobody provided it.
Bear in mind with this and bring your towels from home but after all, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for hosting us :)

Our room was very small, my 6’3 father could barely stand in it. Also the bathrooms are communal, I did not see that anywhere in the listing and would not have stayed as my parents are older and don’t enjoy that. The bathroom had no hand towel and they did not provide one (they also only gave us two towels not three). My bed was not made upon arrival with dirty sheets, however my parents bed was clean. We were pretty disappointed as this building has such good reviews and old architecture

Nice location, tram to the train station and airport a few minutes away, and if you like walking old town is 20 min away.
The room is nice, nothing fancy, but it was clean and had decent amenities
