affordable but sparse room for the fringe festival

This was what we were expecting, sparse but affordable accommodations during the fringe festival. It was a 20-25 minute walk to festival venues (or a 10 minute bus ride). Tight for two people, but was clean and staff were friendly. There's a friendly pub (The Regent) a few minutes away, that we used for common space as the rooms are so small. We had a lovely view of Arthur's Seat.

The property was good value for money for Edinburgh during the festival. The reception staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was quiet and the shower good. The location, close to Holyrood Palace is excellent.

Good location

Good location, was a 20 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat hike and Princes Street. The private bathroom was good and the staff were nice as well. The only thing of note was that the bed was quite uncomfortable, so just something to keep in mind if you’re a bad sleeper.

구조가 복잡해서 방찾기가 힘들며 짐보관시 비용이 발생합니다. 방은 기숙사를 빌려주는듯 한데 침구류가 그리 깨끗해보이지는 않았습니다. 프런트는 친절합니다.

Dishonest and disgusting customer service.

The accommodation was ok but the service via Hotel.Com was disgusting and frankly detracted from the whole Edinburgh and York trip

Property was fine as a place to rest your head. Room was clean when I arrived and staff made sure we were comfortable with towels, toiletries etc. It was only a short walk to the old town which was very convenient as were there during Fringe and for Oasis.

Fit for purpose

Pleasant, welcoming and fit for purpose. Condition of communal area tatty and bathroom could be cleaner. Staff friendly and helpful. Good location and great to have Sainsburys and bus stop near by. Superb for park and Arthur's seat, access to Royal Mile and train station. All in all - I would stay again. Price reflects accomodation and clearly states it is not a hotel. I enjoyed my stay in Edinburgh.

its good in general but if there are more dining places in the surrounding it will be much better. btw, the room is too hot so it will be good if a fan could be provided.

Our stay was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and all necessities were provided. The area is great. Super walkable and easy access to public transport. One complaint was that it was quite hot in our room. However the front desk did what they could, providing us with a fan.
