The Swiss room was a fantastic stay in the heart of Edinburgh. A very short walk from Edinburgh Waverley station and a lot of other amenities, it was a perfect base for exploring Edinburgh.
The property was clean and tidy; the room was set up as two single beds and it was spacious enough. The room was well equipped with basic kitchen items, a hair dryer, and a TV. Social distancing measures were adhered to which made us feel safe in the property.
Water pressure was decent, and the cold tap was great for filling up water bottles and the kettle. Mattress was comfy and the pillows were soft but firm.
Overall, I would definitely recommend City Retreat for a cheap and convenient stay in the heart of Edinburgh. Catherine was brilliant at responding quickly to queries and requests. Well worth the money, and it’s fantastic location and ease of access contributed massively to a wonderful and memorable trip.
