This is a great place to stay for the money. You are near a lot of local shops/cafes, but will have to walk about 10 minutes to where more of the touristy/"popular" part of Edinburgh. Laundry in facility was easy. The place offered a fan which was nice in a no AC building on a summer day. You can only use wifi for one device without paying. So for those looking to use a computer or tablet in addition (for work, etc.) keep that in mind.
