Stayed for Oasis, and convenient for the Fringe. Unfortunately the shower was either plentiful and boiling, or dripping and cold. Pretty dangerous actually! No staff, and no ability to store keys safely as we went out.

Quaint stone house converted in to a 10 room hotel. These are quite common in Edinburgh, and there are quite a few of them in the same area. Recently renovated and clean. The other guests were all quite which was nice. A short distance from the action of the Royal Mile, about 10 min by buses that run ever few minutes. WiFi was very slow, but other then that it was a great place to stay and I would stay here again.

We stayed here for a night during the Edinburgh Festival and it was well located - 5 min taxi ride, and on bus route. Parking advertised but after enquiring via email, and trying to phone for days, I only received an email on the day of arrival to say only 2 spaces, first come, first served (and they were both busy). Room small and basic as expected, but bathroom pipes made extremely loud noise upon flushing, and also sporadically through the night keeping us awake. Curtains not great at keeping light out and busy road was noisy through the night / early morning. Shower started ok, before also making loud noise and cutting out. Defo had more comfortable stays but not terrible and we were maybe just unlucky with room...

Very clean and tidy, with a very comfy bed and good shower. Only met the staff very briefly and check in hence the 4 staffs but everything was fine with enough tea and coffee. Would be great if they did breakfasts

Be prepared for the European custom that the 1st floor is called Ground Floor, so what we call 2d floor they call first floor.

The property was well cared for. My room was very clean with tea and coffee and useful items such as hand soap and hairdryer. I could have ironed a shirt too. Check in process very easy, just felt a bit odd that I saw no-one at all either staff or other guests! Would stay there again as very convenient.

Lovely accommodation, the bed was very firm. Good location, close to buses that go into the city centre. Only two car parks but there's parking on the street behind.

The beds were comfortable and check in and check out were hassle free. We were able to drop off our luggage before check in so we could see Edinburgh without worrying about bags. Transportation is right out the front door making it easy to jump on and off the bus to get to and from the Royal Mile.

The property was close to everything if you want to take the bus or walk into the heart of Edinburgh.

Did not see any staff. Book in was by door bell and could not understand person. Television did not work. No facilitiies for food or breakfast. Only one cafe in area, the earl grey cafe, which was very good and we would recommend Room was clean and bed sheets were clean. Managed to get one of two parking spaces.

A good location and felt safe. The check in process was difficult in that we had to ring an intercom twice and were told our passcode number to obtain our key through this intercom. There was no phone number on the Expedia app or online to ring in advance to confirm any booking, etc.

The property was very clean and allowed us in our room early. The only thing I was missing was a fan in the room. There wasn’t a lot of circulation in the room and having to keep curtains closed due to sunlight, it would become hot in room. A small fan would help this. Overall, the room is very nice and right along the bus line to catch into town. Very convenient for traveling.
