Craig is an excellent host and very welcoming. He spent quite some time explaining the area to me - restaurants and best routes to walk in Edinburgh. I loved my room! It had everything I needed and it’s so handy having the fridge with complimentary drinks available. The kitchen is so generous and a great addition for breakfast. You can cook your own meals as well. The tram into town and from the airport is a 2min walk from the property. I’d definitely stay here again! Thanks again, Craig!

Anthony & staff were very helpful. This property used to be a B & B, but I assume "C" may have changed their marketing. WE stayed in the old/front part - they have numerous types of rooms, on several levels. The property is walking distance to all of your wants/needs & about a 20 - 30 minute walk to Brittania & historic downtown. Their kitchen appeared to offer every type of cooking option & the tram system stop was a 2 minute walk, at most. NOT 5 star, but great location, comfort & staff. - SPA007

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I didn't use the kitchen facilities so I can't rate that. But it was nice to have a room with a fridge that wasn't extremely expensive. Not only that the room had complimentary snacks and the fridge had some beverages including water, also complimentary. The room was beside the roadway with the tram, but once I was asleep, I didn't notice any noises. The bed was comfortable. Only negatives were the TV didn't work (I was only there one night so I didn't bother bringing it up with the staff) and the shower was a bit odd, because it had two shower heads, but only one was functioning and the functioning one didn't let you attach it to a rod or wall for hands free showering. Not a deal breaker, just a little unusual. A short walk from the nearest tram station, which was convenient. Close to bus stops as well, and short wak from some supermarket/grocers if you needed to buy snacks.

Lovely staff and great location

Everything we needed was covered. The staff were very friendly, the room was comfy and well equipped. The en-suit was spotless, and the use of a kitchen downstairs was ideal. There was no shortage of complimentary snacks and drinks. Check in and check out was swift, and having parking on location was ideal. It was well connected to Edinburgh, with a tram stop near by, and plenty of local amenities. Would absolutely stay here again!
