The staff was responsive and friendly. Overall the stay was nice, the only thing that made me not give them 5/5 is that we booked a triple room, upon arriving to the room only 2 bath towels where found, and even tho we asked for an extra towel through Expedia chat nobody provided it. Bear in mind with this and bring your towels from home but after all, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for hosting us :)

Stayed for 1 night while in the city for a family event. Decor is dated in places but the room was comfortable and clean. We stayed in one of the rooms that had a shared bathroom. The bathroom was also very clean but the shower was poor (freezing cold or roasting hot, no middle ground). Express check-in and check out was quick and very convenient. Staff were available and helpful via WhatsApp regarding the check in process. Kettle with tea and coffee in room but didn't use and left before breakfast so can't comment on that. House was very convenient and only a few minutes walk from the Balfour Street tram stop.

It was a nice stay there. Room and washroom was clean. But it was quite small room for 3 people. Just one cupboard given for 3 persons.

Mistaken Identity
This was basically a Hostel. No reception, shared bathroom, no working tv, broken furniture, and inadequate check-in instructions. As a last minute booking on my part, I won’t go too hard, but would not book again.

Regret booking at this place
Shared bathroom with the staff which lived on the premises. A lot of noice from the staff. Their "reception" was right outside our bedroom. The room was not clean and the bed was horrible. This was a total waste of money.

Clean but small.
We booked a triple room which was very small but it was clean and comfortable. Our main issue was the 3pm check in. We were early arriving at 2:30 hoping the room might have been available. It wasn't so came back at 3:30 still wasn't quite ready. On a city break and only visiting for one night the last thing you want is to be kept hanging around waiting to dump your bag. Could have been better organised.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disappointing - Had a room with a double and single bed but was by myself so not good value for one person. Bathroom was shared with other guests and pretty busy, shower was not very clean and bracket was broken. Room was small, fairly clean but needing redecorated (peeling paper, ill-fitting electrical socket) and couldn't get the TV to work (don't think the channels had been programmed in).

Only stay here if in a pinch
Edinburgh is a stunning and stormy city. I had a difficult time finding something in the city center so I was very pleased with the location. It is convenient for the trains and buses. We stayed in a room which was very hot when the sun was out and very cold when it rained. We shared one dirty bathroom with 3 rooms and some one had bad aim while tinkling. The first floor was stunning and since the sign said bed and breakfast and breakfast buffet available I was excited about some Scottish breakfast in the morning. Three other families said they chose the place for the breakfast included option. Initially the worker said he’d give a refund and then he decided to quarrel with everyone and say they didn’t have a chef. To climb stairs with luggage, unite sprinkles on the toilet and floor and no customer service made me uncomfortable and not worth the price. I imagine that he’ll omit this review.
