pleasant yet could improve some details
The communication from the host was commendable, providing me with all the necessary information before arrival. The security measures in place made me feel very safe, which is important for solo travelers.
The location, although central, was a bit noisy at night.

great access to parks and city attractions for weekend strolls
I loved that we were just a quick walk away from Princes Street Gardens and Calton Hill, making our weekend filled with scenic strolls and beautiful views, and the nearby eateries were a lovely bonus to stumble upon after our adventures.

Staying in the Four Poster Bedroom was pretty nice! The room was spacious, and the bathroom was really good, too. The shower had great pressure, which I loved. Plus, there were texts keeping me updated about check-out, which was super handy. And drinking water in the room? Huge bonus! Only downside? I could hear some noise from outside, but it wasn’t a big deal.

missingWrote a review on 07 Julpublic transportfour-poster bedroomlarge tablebed discomfort
Location shines with ease of access to public transport and main attractions. The four-poster bedroom offers a unique charm, with plenty of space and a nice tea/coffee making area on a large table.
The absence of staff presence during key moments, like check-in, creates a somewhat impersonal experience. The bed in the four-poster room feels more like a metal frame rather than a traditional four-poster, leading to discomfort. Dust buildup around the furniture indicates a need for better cleaning practices, and though the bathroom shines, the lack of additional bathroom amenities, like hand towels or conditioner, is noticeable. The sofa's awkward positioning leaves it unanchored and adds to the room's overall cluttered feel, and noise from the street is a frequent complaint for those in front-facing rooms, which might disturb restful nights.

Spacious rooms with high ceilings and artistic decor create a welcoming atmosphere. The location is conveniently quiet, yet offers easy bus access to the city center. Breakfast deserves a special mention. the haggis was particularly enjoyable. some common amenities could be improved for a brighter experience.
