    Good location, low price, convenient access

    Cleanliness needs significant improvement!!! Dusty surfaces, poorly functioning lighting, and bathroom fixtures poorly maintained. Racks and shelves are sorely lacking!!! The overall room size was cramped for four people!!!

    outdoor atmosphere
    cramped bathroom

    The City Residence had a pleasant outdoor area that, while not accessible, offered a lovely view and atmosphere.

    The bathroom layout was problematic. the toilet was cramped and not ideal for privacy when shared with other guests.

    big bathroom
    easy self check-in

    Positive, I enjoyed a nice, small accommodation not far from the city with easy self check-in and a lovely, big bathroom. The room was perfect for me as a solo traveler. The bus stops outside made getting around super convenient.

    exploring edinburgh's attractions within minutes of your stay

    i loved how close my stay was to famous sites like the palace of holyroodhouse, just a lovely 15-minute walk away, and the beautiful princes street gardens, which were only a 10-minute stroll, perfect for enjoying some fresh air and city views.

    good communication
    comfortable room
    cramped bathroom
    worn fixtures
    maintenance needed

    Good communication from the host was a highlight, along with convenient luggage drop-off, making arrival stress-free. The room was comfortable and clean, providing nice bedding and fresh towels. However, the bathroom's layout felt cramped, and the surrounding area could benefit from some maintenance, as certain fixtures showed wear. The nearby bus stop was a significant advantage for easy access to attractions and local dining options, including a great iced coffee shop just a block away.

    spacious bathroom
    strong heating
    noise issues
    less inviting
    occasional disruptions

    The spacious bathroom was a highlight, newly remodeled and clean, offering more room than expected. Strong heating ensured a cozy atmosphere during my visit, and convenient access to the city center made exploring easy. However, the overall ambiance felt less inviting, and there were occasional issues with noise from nearby rooms.
