Casa Hamilton is a great place for a short stay in Edinburgh. The room is as described, and Ve and Will are friendly, gracious hosts. The neighbourhood is vibrant and interesting, close to the main visitor attractions.
The lower rating on the check-in process does not reflect a chronic issue. New windows were being installed in the room, and there was a delay in our access to the room — a bit inconvenient, as we’d been hiking in heavy rain and were cold/wet — but Ve’s communication about the work was clear.
A couple of small suggestions: perhaps adjust the motion sensor timer in the bathroom so that the light doesn’t shut off quite so soon/often; install a motion sensor light in the stairway, for safety.
All in all, however, we were very happy with our accommodations at Casa Hamilton.
