“For a reasonable price, this accommodation in Edinburgh's Newington district strikes a practical balance, especially convenient to bus lines and a manageable walk to the city center. I noted the family-friendly focus, with garden views and cots available, plus nearby casual dining options. It's a solid choice if you prioritize location and basic comfort over luxury.”
