    Not near to the city centre but its easy to access around. We were in room 39, the scenery is not bad as it snowed. There are luggage storage that are available for us to store after we check out so we dont have to carry it around all the time...

    The location was really good. Not too far of a walk to restaurants or the city centre. An even shorter walk to Holyrood Park.

    The staff was helpful and friendly. We arrived early and were greeted warmly and helped with our luggage. The room was clean and freshened up the next day. Location was outside city center, but with easy access to busline and quick trip into town.

    The room was clean and cosy; perfect for 1 person for a weekend away. Older home in a quiet neighborhood with high ceilings, great view out to the garden and lots of character. The bus system works well from 5 minutes out the door; great...
