a romantic hideaway
mobile check-insuperb locationcomfortable bedtiny bathroom
The mobile check-in process was so easy. I needed everything, and the location was superb near transportation. The bed was VERY comfortable. I found Tunnock's treats to be a bonus.
The room was smaller than I thought. The bathroom was tiny. I had to go up loads of stairs with my heavy suitcases. This was tricky.

wonderful stay
easy accesscoffeeinflexible check-in
the location offers easy access to haymarket station. i appreciated the clear pre-registration process and user-friendly access codes (it all felt very modern!). coffee in the lobby was a nice touch. the cable tv and wifi worked perfectly.
the absence of on-site staff and bag storage was inconvenient. i had an inflexible check-in time , made planning my arrival difficult. the entire process relied heavily on a smartphone and reliable internet.

the accommodation is conveniently near haymarket station. this facilitates easy access to public transportation options for exploring the area (a great benefit for visitors!). the city center is within reasonable walking distance, approximately 20 minutes.

the location is great as it is easily reachable by train and tram. shared facilities were also very nice. free coffee and fruit was a nice touch.
the room was cold. the bottom of the windows were open, so part of the glass was missing. the heater was pointless, room number 18.
