“While it positions itself as a value option in Edinburgh, some aspects may not entirely meet expectations, although the clean bed and smooth check-in process are a plus. The location, a little outside the city center, requires a 20-minute commute by bus, but the nearby bus stop is convenient, and luggage storage is available post-checkout, making it a practical choice for budget-conscious travellers not seeking a central location.”
