Everything about this place is great. For context, there were 5 of us total (all males ages 32-36) who visited Edinburgh as a side trip from London for a few days. 2 of us comfortably shared a bed, 1 slept comfortably in a loft, and 2 shared a room in two separate single beds.
This place was great value compared to many of the other options nearby. I say this for several reasons.
First, Denise is so communicative throughout the whole process. She clearly outlines everything you need to know for both Check In and Check Out. She also follows up regularly throughout the whole process. Aside from logistical comms, Denise will also share some recommendations for things to do in Edinburgh. There’s basically a lock pad to get in which saves a lot of hassle with meeting up for check in and check out. (That said, if you’re more comfortable meeting in person Denise totally seems like the type of person to do whatever it takes to ensure you have a pleasant stay).
The location of this place is great. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the train station (and easy to navigate), it’s about a 20 minute walk from the castle/old town, and it’s about a 10 minute walk from some of the more popular spots in new town. Additionally, there are pubs, restaurants and a tesco all within a 5 minute walk. The place is situated down an alley but never once did we feel unsafe. In fact, there are two very fun pubs situated along the alley as well. While the pubs are there, the alley is safe and quiet and not rowdy late into the night.
The room is portrayed accurately in the photos as in person. I can’t say enough good things about this place and Denise and her team. We had an amazing time in Edinburgh and everything this room has to offer is a huge reason why.
If you’re planning on training in/out of Edinburgh it’s hard for me to imagine a better location.
Thanks Denise!
