One nighter

Some beds were soft. Some were hard. The continental breakfast was good and had plenty to offer. The ladies were friendly! :)

A fine old house

People are complaining about house being old, well, it is and that’s fine. You are only sleeping in there to enjoy city. Parking was fine, close to supermarket if you need anything. Check up possible direct with the owner. No problem what's whatever.
Dominika, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst place I’ve ever stayed at. Incredibly old gross building that is not suitable for inhabiting. We had three nights booked but left and booked elsewhere after our first night, despite knowing we wouldn’t be refunded. I couldn’t stay there any longer.

Nightmare with spiders

this was one of the priciest properties that we had during our 10 day trip and location wasn’t even very good. No other property that we stayed at including ones with better locations and lower prices had conditions like this. There were spiders and spider webs in the shower and on our towels. The bathroom had grime around the bottom. Room items were rusty, threadbare, and in general disrepair. The carpet had a greasy feeling. The mattresses were stained and literally flattened with age. The towels were ragged and the blankets were pilled and matted and weren’t long enough to cover our feet. We didn’t see a single staff member the entire time and I imagine it’s because they wouldn’t be able to look their “guests” in the eye with the conditions they provided at their ridiculous price.
Christen, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Check-in was confusing. Was sent a WhatsApp to fill out information online to get check-in information. Got receipt confirmation, but nothing about how to check in. Arrived at the location and sent a WhatsApp asking how to check in - no response. Went to the front door and tried to call the number listed and it didn't work. Rang the bell, and got an automated message saying no one was available. Went back to my car to try to call another number, and several minutes later, someone came outside asking if we were trying to check in. The person checking us in was very nice. Got to our room, which is very dated and not very clean. There was a layer of dust on many parts of the room, and the throw pillows on the beds were stained. The bathroom reeked of urine, and looked like there was mildew in many places. The only positives of this place were the fact it had parking, and the staff were very kind at check-in and breakfast.

Nice place at Edinburgh

Good place and great choice for Edinburgh. Room is "brittish", so can´t really compare to "western" hotels. But it have it´straits. Eletric cattle on room with cofea and tee is great"
Martina, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved how close this was to Craigmillar castle and proximity to the bus stop.
Stefania, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

The service was not very good. We had one lady come at 9 am everyday when it is posted for her to come at 11am. The carpets were extremely gross with red stains across the length of our room, and the beds we super uncomfortable. That being said I wouldn’t not stay here, they just need to fix a few things.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the fact you can grab a bus to take you into the city, so close. The wonderful lady in the morning got to know us and confirmed our coffee and toast order. She knew us and was so warm and friendly . This place is perfect to sleep, grab your breakfast before you head out for the day to explore Edinburgh. When you are on vacation it hits the spot and I would come back again in a heart beat and stay with you all.

Lynne, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place is filthy. The room smelled like sour milk, dirty carpeting, dirty bathroom. You will have a better bang for your buck at a hostel. This place is not convenient - zero pubs, restaurants, stores around.

Arrived noon of New Year's Eve, two hours before check in, they cleaned my room first and let me check in early. Management was very nice, and the room was good.
