Wonderful

Great stay. We arrived a bit early and the room was ready. Close to a tram stop or about a 30 min walk to princes street. Plenty of shops, cafes and bars nearby.
The room was ok, adequate for a couple of nights sleep. The room was clean thr beds were comfy. Coffee making stuff in our room alongside breakfast stuff.
The breakfast stuff were cereal bars, croissants and small cartons of juice, not what we were expecting. You could make use of the large kitchen to make food if you so wanted.
The shower was small however lots hot water there was shower gel,body lotion provided for you.
On arrival to the hotel the door is locked and uou have a ring a bell for the guy to let you in. You are given a key to let yourself in when you left the hotel
The huy we spoke to was very helpful answering the questions we needed to know about the trams/ Edinburgh. The hotel in situated approx 40 minute walk from Princess Street however the trams pass by it and the tram station in approx 2 minute walk from the hotel.
Stay was really welcoming Travelled with kids and stayed for a night and nothing to fault

We were a very last minute reservation as our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. The owners were incredibly welcoming & kind. The rooms are small but cozy & each has an en-suite bathroom. Enormous & well equipped kitchen for all residents to use. Short walk to public transportation.
The owner is a great guy, really friendly and helpful. The building itself is historical and creates the special authentic atmosphere. We walked to the city center - 40 minutes on foot. A fascinating place!

Edinburgh visit
The person who checked us in was very helpful and the food and drink in refrigerator was nice touch.
However We had a room with 3 beds , for my husband and I and our 14 year old grandson, that was smaller than expected.
It also had a strange smell - like a wet dog.
Love this wee hotel ♥️ it’s like a good old fashioned normal hotel and not like one of the heartless chain hotels where every room looks the same. They don’t serve breakfast and that’s reflected in the price. The fridge in the room has everything you’ll need for a quick coffee in the morning and we found an excellent vegan cafe around the corner for our breakfast.
Clean and basic, although slightly dated. Really friendly staff and loved the complementary water, irn bru, juice, and croissants in our room. Tram stop nearby to take you in to Edinburgh, which was great
For the money we paid , the room, amenities and the friendly welcome we got from Craig on arrival were first class.Location was excellent for buses, trams etc. Would definitely consider using again.
