Good things first. Excellent location as it is very close to the Royal mile and most of the old town attractions. There is a pub right outside if that’s something that attracts you. It is spacious enough for two people and the sofa bed gives extra sleeping space though it isn’t very comfortable to sleep on. The kitchen is decent and the toilet is good as well. Didn’t try the shower.
If you are driving, there isn’t any free parking or atleast I couldn’t find one. There is paid on street parking which is quite expensive, somewhere around £3 and hour. Communication with the host was ultra poor. Never had communication this bad with any one. Apart from the autogenerated check in and check out messages, I couldn’t speak to the host. I called him to speak about if he knew a better parking a few times and left voicemails as well, but no answer. On checking out, I wasn’t able to lock the key safe and I didn’t want to leave the keys unattended so I tried to get in touch with him, but same fate.
Also not very clean. I mean the sheets and the surfaces were clean but there was a whole ghost house under the bed and the sofa. Won’t matter to many but accidentally my daughter dropped her bottle under the sofa and while getting it out I discovered all that and the bottle was a mess too.
Also, they have stored the brooms, mops and other cleaning equipment in the wardrobe so essentially we couldn’t use the wardrobe because it didn’t feel right.
Good place to stay location wise but otherwise not a very good value for money. Probably won’t be booking this the next time
