Six nights in Edinburgh, and this place was perfect. Super friendly staff, quick responses, and it felt like home even though it was older. Bus stop and grocery stores nearby, which is super convenient.

My trip to Edinburgh was wonderful thanks to this great location! So close to the city center and a bus stop. Even had a Lidl nearby which was amazing for stocking up on croissants. The room was spacious and clean, and the overall experience was great despite some minor issues mentioned elsewhere.
