the location was convenient for bus routes to the city centre. the room i had was clean and spacious which i appreciated. there were also shops and bars located a short distance away. i found this quite helpful.
The breakfast was not as good as i hoped. the food was of bad quality, and it was cold. i thought there were also few choices. the coffee was undrinkable. I found that disappointing.

excellent stay!

friendly host quiet room good location
The host was friendly and helpful. He offered city tips. the location was good. It was a direct and flat walk to the royal mile. my single room, located at the back, stayed very quiet despite facing a busy road.
The room lacked proper clothing storage facilities. It only had a hanging section with mismatched coat hangers.
