“In a quiet, mainly residential area of Edinburgh, this is a charming option. I like the proximity to both the city center and the natural beauty of Holyrood Park. Free parking is a real perk, and the variety of room types-some with city views-adds appeal.”

Solid Stay Near the City Center

bus stop location clean room tea selection
The bus stop right across the street made getting around simple. A short walk led to several good Indian restaurants. I enjoyed the food. The room was spacious and clean. Plenty of tea and coffee were available.
Es gab kein Frühstück. Der Schrank ist gast zusammen gebrochen. Die Fenster im oberen Stock konnten nicht geöffnet werden nur angekippt. Die Zimmer waren klein und lieblos eingerichtet. Die halben Gardinen waren zum Teil zerrissen. Die Betten waren sehr schmal und sind damit für ausgewachsene Deutsche nicht so gut. Besonders schlecht war, dass in der Nacht auf dem Hof Marihuana geraucht wurde.

i located some Indian restaurants within a five minute walk. a pub nearby serves both breakfast and dinner daily. this pub seemed a convenient option, since i didn't want to travel far.

big room handy kettle breakfast absence window opening
I had a lovely big room with an en-suite. A handy kettle was also in the room. The location allows walking distance to the city centre plus bus stops are right outside.
There was no breakfast available. The windows on the upper floor could not be fully opened. I could only tilt them.
