“I found the recent renovations to be a smart touch, blending modern needs into a historic structure; its Newington address places it within walking distance of the University of Edinburgh and a short ride from the National Museum. I particularly like that they offer family rooms and free parking permits. This is a solid choice for those wanting to explore Edinburgh without sacrificing peace and quiet.”

mixed feelings about my stay
dusty room poor ventilation
the location was acceptable, with shops and a park nearby.
The room was not as clean as i expected. There was dust in several areas and i spotted a spider. the lack of proper ventilation in the bathroom also bothered me quite a bit.

Excellent Stay Near the University
decorated room comfy bed clean shower sparkling water
The room was beautifully decorated, I especially liked the attention to detail. The bed was very comfy, and I found the shower and bath to be very clean. the water pressure was good. I also appreciated the list of local eateries and attractions. It was very helpful. I was grateful for the fridge stocked with bottled sparkling water near the entrance.
The stairs were quite narrow and a bit difficult to navigate with heavy luggage.
