Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Edinb&B is appreciated for its central location, putting guests within a short walk of attractions like Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The shared kitchen is a highlight, being well-equipped and offering complimentary breakfast items such as bread, tea, coffee, eggs, and juice, allowing guests to prepare their own meals.

Really good Value and Location

great location easy process comfortable bed

The B&B had a great location near the Royal Mile I found. The check-in process was straightforward due to the key code system. The bed was comfortable I must say.

The green exit sign in my room was illuminated all night I noticed. It made it a little difficult to sleep because the room was never dark.

Service

9/10

Check-in was simple since the keys were accessed via a code I learned. The kitchen provides breakfast items and snacks and this was a nice touch. Staff kept the common areas very clean I saw.

Location

10/10

This hotel is very close to the Royal Mile I think. Waverley Bridge is within walking distance and has an airport bus. There were pubs and bars nearby I noticed.

Rooms

8/10

My room had what I needed for my stay I believe. The bathroom was clean and in good condition I noticed. The kitchen offered good facilities for preparing meals if I wanted to cook.

Acceptable stay near the Royal Mile

central location clean place cozy room tiny room small towel shared bathroom

The location was amazing. It was so close to everything I wanted to see. The place was kept really clean. The rooms were very warm and cozy, I liked it.

The room was tiny. There was no place to put away my suitcase or even a small closet to hang any clothes. The bath towels could be of better quality and bigger.
