Un ottimo B&B.

Distante 15 min a piedi dal centro, questo grande b&b è fornito di personale alla reception h24, molto gentili e disponibili. È un po' un labirinto con i suoi corridoi e suddivisioni, ma è tranquillo e confortevole. La stanza che abbiamo avuto noi (vicino alla cucina in comune) non era molto grande, ma confortevole, con armadio, tanti scaffali e tante prese. Il bagno piccolino ma efficiente e pulito. Il lavandino un po' piccolino e non c'era nemmeno il sapone (ne avevo uno mio quindi non ne ho chiesto uno alla reception). Le asciugamani le danno lì al momento del check-in. La fermata più vicina era Abbeyhill Crescent e con i bus fino a mezzanotte era tranquillo tornare a casa. Lo consiglio vivamente perché secondo me è tra i pochi b&b di questa tipologia a cifre un pochino più contenute rispetto agli altri, ed ho prenotato davvero tanto prima. Tutto il resto era a prezzi folli oppure c'erano ostelli con posti letto e bagni in comune.

Shut the gate at night !

The room was as expected and very convenient

There is a side gate for people to come and go during the day, it made it very convenient for people during the day, so the bus stop was only 2 minutes away. However the side gate remained open at night so that all sorts come in, in large groups and serenade you at 2am, 3am 4am. Many were not staying , because they didnt have to go past reception

Decent

Very friendly and helpful staff.

I didn't do my research properly and was surprised by the type of accommodation. This is definitely for students but not for someone on vacation

Struttura e camere davvero poco accoglienti e poco pulite

Difficile trovare qualcosa che ci sia piaciuto della struttura…

Poco pulita; camera poco accogliente e poco pulita; non è stato fornito nemmeno un asciugamanino da usare come tappetino per la doccia; nessun campioncino di shampoo e sapone fornito; affaccio della finestra a pian terreno completamente sporco e pieno di spazzatura; nessuna informazione e consigli sulla città forniti dalla reception; zero insonorizzazione della camera (rumori tutta la notte, comprese le porte che sbattevano in corridoio); tante altre cose che non andavano…

Pleasant accommodation convenient for town centre

Staff were very helpful, facilities all very clean, modern and functional. It was generally very quiet. Location is a mere 10 minutes from the station on foot and say 20 minutes to the Royal Mile.

It's very hot in the rooms, especially at night, even with windows open and no heater. Quite expensive for basic facilities. Double beds very small, though to be fair this is made clear when booking the room.

Basic but value for money

Great location, really close to the parliament. Lovely staff. Basic but great value for the price I paid. Good base for one night. Big fridge to put any shopping in.

The bed was so uncomfortable, quite small for 2 people and the pillows were very flat. The kettle didn't work and the TV couldn't get a signal. There was work being done right outside our window which started early.

For a students house - fabulous!

Stayed here in August 2023. Staff was more than lovely! Location was perfect between Calton Hill and Holyrood Park! Up the street, you’ll find various cafés for breakfast. The rooms were more than spacious and bright thanks to the glass front facing the yard. The kitchen area provided extra facilities. And did I mention how cool the staff was?

As a few mentioned here: can’t pop the windows open, only tilt a little one a bit. One night we had smokers gather just there. -.- And the mattresses weren’t the worst I had slept in, but yeah, they could be replaced. Towels need to be rented from the reception desk. But it being a student accommodation, one can’t expect hotel standards.

Very good value for money.

The service and the location were very good. 15-minute walk from the centre. It was quiet, even though there were a lot of young people staying. The staff was very kind and helpful. The room and ensuite bathroom were newly refurbished and clean. Well equipped common kitchen. I

The common spaces needed some refurbishing too.

Content, but not pleased

Clean, great for highland show accommodation

Very warm in the rooms, extra pillows would be nice as only 1 provided on the bed, checked in online to speed up the process, check in began at 3pm as stated on the site. Arrived at 3pm and room was not ready and had to wait an hour after travelling all day. Quite overpriced for not including breakfast and for basic accommodation. Not worth £290 for 3 nights

Superb

At last, affordable accommodation for a solo traveller in a very expensive city. Simple but comfortable and clean accommodation with access to a kitchen to make tea/coffee. Good location. Dirt cheap if you are a couple. Also offers small free samples of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Less than a mile from Waverley too. Win, win!

10 AM check out, even 10.30 would be better but 11 o clock better still!
