The location in Edinburgh’s New Town just a few minutes walk from Waverley Station is perfect. The room I stayed in, despite being a basement room, was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The only slight negative is the lack of a lift and many stairs.

Clean, spacious and well equipped room - had everything i needed for a comfortable stay, and a comfy bed. Perfect location for city centre and Waverley station. Wouldnt be suitable for those who needed accessibility support due to old building limitations - no lifts. A little noisy at times - could maybe improve sound proofing on room doors and between floors, but didnt spoil my visit. Staff friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast with cooked vegetarian option. Would definitely stay here again / recommend.
