great location easy walk good value packed breakfast rubbish contents absent staff
The location was great. It was an easy walk to Calton Hill. I thought it was good value for the money.
I did not like the packed breakfast. They leaved it outside my door at 06:00. The contents were rubbish, small cartons of juice and a cream cracker. There was no staff anywhere too be seen. I rang the bell, and a carer opened up and handed me the keys.

mixed feelings about this place
warm milk prepackaged food
the breakfast was quite underwhelming. i had to fill out a form the night before and the items were left in a bag outside my door. the milk was warm, and everything was prepackaged. there was also no daily room cleaning , disappointing.
