“In my opinion, the convenient location near Lothian Street and key Edinburgh attractions is a definite plus; however, the small rooms and lack of included breakfast were disappointing, considering the cost. For a brief stay prioritizing location, it suffices, but the value doesn't quite align with expectations.”
