Colony House was indeed charming, clean and well equipped. It is located off Haymarket in the West End and is convenient for all of the main attractions in Edinburgh city centre, whether by foot, bus or tram.

We were met briefly by Fenella's partner, Rupert, who was friendly and helpful.

Overall, I would commend Colony House to anybody visiting Edinburgh and wanting to stay in a convenient and central location. I think it worth mentioning that the area the house is located in is perfectly fine but not as salubrious as some others nearby. And, one quibble: the shower is not the best.
