    Probably me overlooking but would have preferred a private toilet. Also, didn't like that the door didn't lock.

    Blankets were warm and it was central to town. It was good for an overnight stay.

    Somewhere to hang clothes, maybe pegs or a rail. You could hear other guests.

    Great price! The room was small but comfy with a toilet as well. There was a nice room stocked up for self service breakfast and a good shower room. The location was one street from the Royal Mile. We liked it and would return.

    There was a strong fragrance smell in the room which might seem great to some people but when you're someone who is very sensitive to fragrances this was a big problem! Washing bedding in fragrance free detergent would have been good! The room had a very small window and the walls are very thin so the room was quite noisy from other occupants.

    Great location, very clean, and I loved how they provided some breakfast options for the morning.There was a heater and toilet in the room, which was great too.

    I am not a big fan of toilets and showers in the same rooms but it did not affect our stay.

    Fruits, tea, coffee and milk available. Best location based on price.

    Really tiny room with no window but since we knew about it, it wasn't really a problem. Reading the comments we were a bit worried but it was actually better than expected

    Location is perfect Common area and room were clean Kitchen area with self service is a plus Really a great value for the price and this location in Edinburgh!

    Buffet style breakfast was advertised but there was only a limited option of cereal and bread. Some of the utensils and bowls were not clean and were covered in dried food. And at night the heating was turned on too high. Towels were also very small.

    Location was amazing for the price we paid especially. The bathroom was clean. Really ideal for a cheap short stay, especially if ur not planning on spending much time in the room.

    The room we had was really stuffy, like a closet. There was a giant green exit sign in the room that kept us up the whole night. Pity, because without it I think the stay would have been a bit better.

    The location was excellent. Very central! The B&B was well spaced out and the bathrooms were very clean. There was a bit of breakfast provided but you have to make it on your own, but that’s totally ok! Access to the building is really straightforward.

    The beds are not particularly comfortable. There is only two bathrooms for 8 rooms so often a queue for showering. Breakfast is fine but very minimal.

    The location is great, and for the price you cannot ask for too much. The only onsite staff come during the day to clean, they were very friendly and helpful when we had got a detail wrong about the booking. The kitchen is spacious and clean and good for cooking small lunch/dinner.

    The room itself could be decorated a little more, but had all the necessities. Early check out time isn’t too convenient.

    The location of the property was great. It was quiet, clean and cosy. There were nice touches like provision of breakfast and other snacks in the kitchen.

    Loud on a weekend at the front of the property, but didn’t prevent getting to sleep. 9:30 check out time is the earliest I’ve ever come across would be better at 10-11

    The property is located in the perfect location for exploring the old town and royal mile. The room and shared bathroom were both very clean. As expected we got what we paid for, not luxury but does what it is designed to do and would be well placed among its target market competitors.
