“Located in the New Town, the guesthouse offers a blend of historical charm and contemporary convenience, placing guests within easy reach of Edinburgh's main attractions; the comfortable rooms and autonomous check-in cater well to independent travellers. Though some rooms facing the street can be a bit noisy, its central location more than compensates. It's a solid choice for exploring the city.”

Wonderful Stay with Excellent Amenities
convenient location nice touch early check-in
The location was very convenient to attractions! The room was spacious and well-appointed, also the tea and biscuits were a nice touch. I also appreciated the luggage storage since it allowed me to explore the area without my bags, moreover, they kindly accommodated my early check-in after a long journey.
the noise from the hallway was disruptive. I could hear doors slamming frequently, this made it hard to sleep well.

missed service toilet paper
the lack of daily room service was a real letdown (i expected more for the price i paid). my room was not cleaned . i even ran out of toilet paper and had to find a store myself. it's frustrating when these basic needs aren't met, and i felt a bit neglected.

missing cleaning terrible smell
The location was great and easy to access.
The room was not cleaned for five days, despite my request to staff. An extra cleaning fee was charged, but minimal cleaning occurred . There was a strong, flowery scent from a diffuser. When turned off, a sewage smell became noticeable.

the building smelled bad both in common areas and the room. the towels had a musty smell. the shower was complicated.
