The place is simply amazing, great location if you are a tourist in Edinburgh, and a great place to visit with your friends. Great beer, amazing "small apartment" rooms, extremely nice crew (that I miss already), and a location on a fast track to both new and old city areas. Defiantly coming back over there.

What's not to like. I mean, this sure was the best place I stayed during my whole trip in Scotland. The rooms and facilities are just like in the pictures. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and the attention to detail is on point. The breakfast freshly prepared every morning by Susan and Kevyn is amazing and delicious. The location is really good because you are close to the city centre and lots of local restaurants and cafes. It is a 20-minute walk to the Royal Mile, or you can take the buses that come and go very frequently. The neighbourhood is quiet, so it's perfect to rest after a day of sightseeing. The hosts, Susan and Kevyn, are simply the best. I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay to finish my vacation in Scotland. When I come back, I will most definitely stay here again and if you have the chance... do it because you will not regret it.

After 3 busy days in Edinburgh hostel stay and visit to Highlands, it was great decision to spend my last night here for a good sleep, get prepared for my train trip to London. Thanks to everyone at the property for their warm welcome and great conversation.

The location was not that far than I expected. The room and the bathroom were very clean and my friend liked it. The staff, Sylvia was very kind and she gave us a lot of information. It was very helpful for us to take a tour in the Edinburgh. Thank you so much for your help. I couldn’t leave the tip because I didn’t have the cash. Sorry about that!!
