Located in Edinburgh within 2 km of Edinburgh Waverley station and 1.3 km of Edinburgh Playhouse, The Room provides rooms with free WiFi. The property is around 1.8 km from Royal Mile, 2.4 km from Royal Yacht Britannia and 2.5 km from National Museum of Scotland. University of Edinburgh is 3.1 km away and Edinburgh Castle is 3.3 km from the guest house. The facilities were new and clean. The gentleman at reception was very polite, friendly, and helpful. He gave us a map and several tips about the city, as well as coffee and cookies while we waited for the room to be ready. Every day, there were brownie-like sweets at reception, and in the room they replenished a bottle of water and a delicious chocolate daily. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, the bathroom was spacious and stocked with toiletries, and the shower worked very well (it was large, and the temperature control was excellent). The hotel is well located—25 minutes on foot from Princes Street, with a bus stop just a few steps away. Highly recommended.

At the guest house, units have a desk, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. The guest house features some units with mountain views, and the units have a kettle. At the guest house, all units are allergy-free. Alia, the host, made everything possible to make my stay as comfortable as possible and was always available and ready to provide anything in addition I needed. I was staying in the single room with external bathroom which was just fine for what was needed. I was staying 11 nights and even for such a long stay the room was comfortable and sufficient. The room had a view on the back garden and it was quiet. The location of the guest house is also convenient, with several bus options to reach city center in 20-30 min. The nearby shopping mall is also very convenient.
