Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed reports on appliances — A couple of guests found the fridge out of order during their stay, though one noted they were compensated.
  • Sofa bed is only for the light — One guest called the sofa bed 'suitable only for feather-light individuals', and another described it as creaky – so plan sleeping arrangements for more than the beds if needed.
  • Beds on the firmer side — At least one guest found the beds harder than they'd prefer, while others found them comfortable.
  • Staff availability can be limited — One guest said the staff were polite but not always able to assist, which may matter if you need in-person support during your stay.

“We stayed in a lovely flat right in the heart of Edinburgh. The location was perfect for exploring the city. However, it would have been nice if the fridge worked and the bathroom was in better condition. Indoor camping on a creaky sofa bed is always fun.”
