“I think the location hits a sweet spot, nestled near the castle and Royal Mile yet easily walkable from the airport tram; plus, that pub next door promises a lively night. The rooms seem well-equipped, little fridge and all, and the staff clearly go the extra mile, especially with those tricky accessibility needs. A solid base for exploring Edinburgh.”

The bed seemed comfortable with three fluffy pillows.
I was bothered by the noise from the pub. It sits directly below rooms and starts early. EDM music played loudly at 7:30 AM. A request to lower the volume did not improve matters, and this ruined my morning.

The location is central. The staff were friendly. They provided quick assistance with directions and local recommendations. My room had a comfy double bed and a modern bathroom. I appreciated the provided tea and coffee facilities.
The soundproofing was not entirely effective. Noise from the street was occasionally audible.

the room size felt adequate and the staff appearance was neat.
the noise levels are so high because of the nearby pub, and this made it hard for me to sleep well, a big problem when you're trying to rest after a long day traveling. the constant loud music really kept me awake.
