This lodge is superb. As a group of 8 we very much enjoyed the friendliness and helpfulness of Javid.
The location was perfect- close enough to walk into the City Centre or a quick taxi ride away if time was an issue. We paid between 10-12 pounds for 8 to get into the city by cab. The bus stops right outside, in both directions, were helpful and the lodge is about 5 minutes walk from major supermarkets.
The lodge itself was pristine, warm and comfortable. Ample bathrooms and quality towels ( which is a lovely touch for travelers). Rooms were spacious and light. Kitchen was modern and very well supplied.
Hands down, I would stay at the Lodge again, when next in Edinburgh.
