“Edinb&B strikes me as a solid choice for those seeking a quieter, more intimate base with its limited number of rooms and a shared kitchen for guest use; self check-in caters to late arrivals, which is a definite plus. Its central location is a boon for sightseeing, although light sleepers might note some street noise. For short stays, the value seems undeniable.”

central location convenient location cozy room self-service kitchen small room hostel feeling thin wall

The location was central. It was easy to walk to many attractions. the room was clean and cozy. i appreciated the self-service kitchen. It offered a good variety for breakfast.

The room was very small. it felt more like a hostel than a traditional b&b. i also noted that the walls were thin. I could hear a lot of noise from other guests.

central location clear communication

The location is very central. It is within walking distance of the city's attractions. Clear communication was provided by text (which I appreciated) and phone call with the owners.

I would have preferred a private toilet.
