I recently stayed at a property in Edinburgh called Frederick Douglass - Rooms In The City. The communication with the host regarding entry to the property was really good. The family room I stayed in was spacious, with comfortable beds, a sofa, TV. The blackout curtains were a nice touch, and there was even a storage area behind the double bed for luggage. The location was convenient, with Holyrood Park just a 15-minute walk away, and it took about 30 minutes to walk into town, passing plenty of shops and coffee bars along the way. The Wi-Fi was excellent and there were ample lighting in the room. The host also provided free tea and coffee, which was more than enough for our group. The proximity to bus stops and the city centre was a bonus.

It was all superb! 😊

Great value for money, the room was clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, near bus stops and just a short walk to the city center. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

The only thing that could make the breakfast better is if they offered more variety.

We stayed at a hotel that was really close to the centre of town. It was a great location - we could easily walk to all the attractions. The room was small, but cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed and was warm, which was important in winter. The bathroom was clean and the shower was excellent. The person who helped us with the entry was very sweet.

They didn't provide room service.

Clean and cosy room with cute bed headboards. Helpful owner who provided quick assistance with extra towels and toilet paper. Coffee amenities available in the room. Accessible location, with frequent bus service to the city center. Many nearby restaurant options. Shared kitchen facility that was useful. The bathroom was newer and well-maintained. I felt safe during my stay.

Nothing that I didn't like.
