Edinburgh Homestays

It takes 0.5 hours to walk from the hotel to Waverley Railway Station. 4 households share a kitchen with new furniture, TV, sofa, stove, refrigerator, oven, microwave oven, etc. It can be used for cooking and living room. The staff at the reception desk have a good attitude. Coffee, milk, salt, pepper, shampoo, and body wash are placed at the door, and you can get them for free; hair dryers, bath towels, towels, etc. are conditional. The double bed is very narrow at 1.3 meters, the spring mattress is uneven and uncomfortable, and the bathroom is extremely small.

We stayed here on the last days of the Fringe festival so we chose it for its reasonable price. Location is very good, I'd say 15 minutes walking from the centre. Nothing fancy as it's a student accommodation but overall clean and pleasant. The only thing I would improve is cleanliness and temperature in the corridors as the carpets are stained and old, and it was too hot. As for the room, despite being tiny, it didn't feel claustrophobic, thanks also to the the big window, and I liked the bathroom quite new, bright, and clean. In conclusion, I'd definitely recommend staying here.

The staffs are very friendly and helpful. It is an easy check-in, all you need is your id card and a credit card for deposit. The room is quite small, but the toilet is very clean. You can get free shampoo, body wash and conditioner from the reception. Since its actually a student accommodation, you better bring your own tooth brush and paste, towel and mug. Or you can simply get these from sainsbury nearby.

1. The location of the hotel: Adjacent to the entrance of Holyrood Palace and Calton Hill, go straight for a few hundred meters to the Royal Mile, and walk about one kilometer to Vivalli Station. Basically, most of Edinburgh's attractions and shopping are solved by walking Although I am a little tired, I can experience the local scenery and people in a down-to-earth way. Hotel environment: small and beautiful, the surrounding environment is very quiet, there is an exquisite garden at the back door of the hotel, and there is a very warm reception room on the first floor, most of the time there are no staff there, guests just push the door in and want to lie on the sofa to rest , drink coffee, go to the bathroom, wash and dry clothes, you can do it all by yourself here, feel free to do it without restraint Room facilities: After check-in, the hotel will send me a password. This password is common to open the reception room on the first floor and the room. It is very convenient to enter and exit without having to bring the room card; our room is on the third floor, and it is a bit inconvenient to carry luggage up , thanks to the help of the hotel administrator; the room is newly renovated, everything is clean and tidy, and the room temperature can be adjusted; there is a small kitchen at the entrance, which basically meets the needs of self-cooking, thanks to this kitchen, the problem of eating is solved ( Edinburgh really has too few food options); we are a family of four staying here this time, in addition to the 1.8-meter bed in the room, the sofa in the living room is pulled out to a double bed, which is quite comfortable; the bathroom has a lot of space . The view outside the window is beautiful, quiet and comfortable. Service: Peter, the hotel manager, is very kind and patient in introducing us to the surrounding areas of the hotel. A few tips: 1. There is a small Chinese supermarket (it seems to be called Meiqilin) ​​and a Tasco about 400 meters away from the hotel. It is great and solves a lot of food problems. 2. It’s very cold in Edinburgh in the morning and evening, so remember to bring thick clothes. 3. If you need to go from Edinburgh to London (or if you need to travel around various cities in the UK), it is recommended to buy a train pass in advance (two days in advance on Ctrip, and one day in advance on Taobao) to buy a train pass, which is cheaper than buying a single trip A lot, our family of four traveled from Edinburgh to London, went to Cambridge and Oxford in London, bought a three-day pass, and spent a total of less than 4,000 yuan (one way from Edinburgh to London for four people) It costs 3,000 yuan), and the pass can be used on any operating company’s trains on any train, which is very convenient.

Apartment without front desk. Fifth floor apartment, but elevator goes up to third floor. Control on induction range was not intuitive, and that for the microwave oven was totally non sensical. Location was very good, the unit was spacious, clean, and well equipped. I highly recommend the apartment for those who can carry luggage two floors up.

Although it is a bit far from the city center, tram is very convenient! Next to it is the Spanish Visa Center. If you are coming from Scotland to apply for a visa, you can stay here for a while if you are not in a hurry to return~ The boss was super nice and even checked us in early when we arrived early. The food and drinks prepared are all delicious! The environment is super cozy 🥲I love it! ! If you need to stay in Aibo next time, you will stay here again! !

Self-catering apartment. No breakfast. Lots of eating and drinking nearby. The reserved room has a sofa bed that can be called an extra bed. Others don’t know. Family apartments are of course suitable for children. No one cares how many children you take, as long as you feel able to sleep. Password lock self check-in . The location of the apartment is very good, on the Prince’s Road, facing the castle overlooking the Prince’s Garden. There is no free parking nearby, and there is a taxi waiting area on the side of the road.

The pros - location is perfect for a weekend in Edinburgh, just off Princes Street and Rose Street, ideally located for any number of bars, restaurants and sightseeing. The apartment was very clean and modern with good kitchen facilities (if needed). However there are a lot stairs which would not suit anyone with mobility issues. The cons - check in confirmation sent was for the wrong apartment, so we were unable to gain entry on arrival to then be advised we had been moved. We were not given the apartment I had booked and it was smaller than expected with no view looking into an office block and a grubby rooftop area with a dead pigeon! I had requested an additional bed which I was assured would be in the apartment, but a cheap fold up bed had been left outside the wrong apartment, meaning I had to carry it up 2-3 flights of stairs and make it up myself, before being charged £15 per night for its use! If staying here please note all the small print as an additional deposit charge (£200) will also be taken without warning before you stay and held for 3-5 days after your departure until they check the apartment over.
