Wonderful trip in Edinburgh
Really Nice place. A Little bit far from the city center but it’s not an issue since it’s well deserved by bus. Beds are great and hosts are really nice.

Nice, peaceful room.
On a bus route. Just bit further out of town from Edinburgh Zoo. Friendly welcome at the door as we arrived. Nice clean quiet room with double bed & single bed, & en-suite with shower & bath. Nice views out over garden. Peaceful night. Very helpful hosts. Hopefully we will be back.

Superb customer service and great comfort
The staff was incredibly welcoming and lovely and the hotel was really well maintained. For a room that accomodated 4 adults, it was quite spacious and the beds were comfortable. It's only a 20 min bus ride into the city centre and it's well connected with public transport.

Room was nice and clean and spacious. Not many amenities (coffee fixins). An easy bus ride to town and airport. Staff was kind and helpful when asked specific questions but not very visible otherwise.

Nice Wee Hotel on Outskirts of Edinburgh
Stayed here one night as was in Edinburgh to see a friend's band play. Wasn't in the hotel much but the room was nicer than expected for the price, well worth the money. I didn't manage to get a good sleep but I think that's down to my own vicissitudes. Location well connected to city centre through the buses. Room was quiet enough as was facing the back garden. Receptionist was nice too. Would probably stay again yeah.

This was a good hotel outside of the Edinburgh city center, giving it more of a less-crowded and noisy feel. There is a bus stop just down the street, along with a Lidl and McDonald's as well as several cafes and sit-down restaurants. The rooms are decorated beautifully in a Victorian style. You have to park on a side street nearby, so depending on how many other cars are parked there (it's a residential neighborhood) it's a bit of a trek up/downhill. Hotel staff were very pleasant and accommodating. There is an option to pay for a hot breakfast in the mornings. The only thing I was not a fan of here was the strong perfume/incense smell inside our room that kind of hit the nostrils.
