Located on a quiet residential street, this hotel doesn’t look much from the outside – a very low-key entrance, no lobby, and check-in is done in another building next door (it’s signposted). Going up to the room, it looks more like a dorm than a hotel. We knew that our double room would be small – and it was – but it was a pleasant surprise anyway. Spotlessly clean, large, comfortable bed, huge TV and an excellent shower. The bathroom is quite spacious, considering the room’s size. WiFi was good.
The hotel is just a block away from the busy South Bridge with its restaurants (especially recommend Mother India Cafe, a few blocks away) and shops. It’s just a few minutes’ walk down to the Royal Mile.
All’s well so far, but what really makes us thoroughly recommend this hotel is the breakfast. It exceeded our expectations by far – the breakfast room is nice, there’s lots to choose from, and eggs, pancakes etc cooked to order. Staff was very friendly and accomodating, too.
