The location of the hotel was perfect, with decent bars and restaurants nearby. The hotel facilities were great, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast provided was delicious and of very good quality. The staff at the hotel were exceptionally friendly and helpful.
Nothings.
We loved the bright and spacious room with a nice view of the garden. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom, although outside the room, was not far away. The breakfast served in the veranda was superb, with a variety of hot food options. The location of the hotel was really convenient, within walking distance to downtown and with great bus links. It was situated just off Lothian Road, next to the Meadows and a 15-minute walk to Princes Street. The quality of the breakfast and service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and welcoming.
All was perfect.
We had a fantastic stay at this guest house - the room was clean and comfortable with great amenities like a fridge and kettle. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the city center and close to transportation links. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive.
No issues.
We had a fantastic stay! The hotel was spotlessly clean with excellent facilities, including a small fridge in the room. The location was perfect, within a 25-minute walk to all major areas and situated in the lively Tollcross area near the city centre. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the shower was great. Our room also had a desk, a couple of chairs, and even a small fridge, which exceeded our expectations for the price and location. The breakfast was delicious and offered a variety of options, including cereals, pancakes, cold cuts and cheese, orange juice. The staff were extremely kind and helpful, with a great sense of humor.
Nothing to fault.
