    The hotel is perfectly located, right near the Playhouse and central Edinburgh, making it an ideal place to stay. With everything within easy walking distance, you can explore the city with ease. The rooms are spacious and clean, providing ample supplies and complimentary amenities like tea, coffee, and shampoo.

    The lack of reception and the need to ring a bell for assistance may cause inconvenience to some guests.
