The hotel is quite , new , and near the city center. there is a bus stop which you can use to reach the center "use bus 19 or 43 " .. it's also 5 min walk to Dean's village and Dean's bridge. Although it doesn't have breakfast but you can enjoy the happy hour ( from 5pm to 6pm ) where you can meet in the lobby and enjoy a nice coffee. The receptionist Moungo was nice and polite also the others were good and helpful. There are lots of places where we visit on foot and the hotel has a good cleaning service. They gave us restaurants which gives discount if you stay in the hotel which we tried . the room we stayed in has a good view on the city "707, 708"

Staff were helpful and the guest house was very clean. The breakfast was ok with a choice of either hot or cold food. Have to say the cooked breakfast choice was limited and although the quantity was good it would have been good to have had say bacon rather than sausages every day. Location was excellent with bus stops into city centre outside. A very friendly place to stay.

Good basic accommodation for the Fringe, when it's hard to find places to stay for a reasonable price. Exactly what you would expect from a student room: decent bathroom, bed, desk, small wardrobe, quite spartan. Well equipped shared kitchen. Decent location with a supermarket and cafe downstairs and plenty of places to eat nearby. About a mile from the city centre. Friendly staff who seem to work very hard.
