The place is quiet and interior is great. Room is very big and there is a tub for bath. Coffee corner is good and free of charge. Reception was nice and introduce the hotel and room to us. Easy to go to Edinburgh city center as the bus stop is just outside the hotel with around 3 mins walk. Would recommend this hotel to others!

英國行最便宜也是最滿意的酒店,在愛丁堡大學裏麪,特別安靜。愛丁堡本身就很小,打車到市中心也就十來分鐘。本來房間是在四樓,我們有倆特別大的箱子,reception給換到了一樓,特別nice。蘇格蘭很多這種建築都沒電梯

The interior design makes the room really dark. And it was disappointing that there is no bath tub in the hotel room given that the weather is cold in Scotland.
