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.

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.

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.

Fine for what it is - but get it cheap

Fine for what it is - but during Fringe Festival, it is (for obvious reasons) way overpriced.

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.

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.
