    spacious room
    excellent bedding
    street noise
    sleep disruption

    Could this be the unicorn we’re all looking for?

    The spacious room was bright and had excellent bedding, creating a cozy atmosphere. Location was convenient, with only a short walk to the Royal Mile.

    Street noise was a real distraction, especially in rooms facing busy areas, making restful sleep a challenge.

    homey atmosphere
    confusing location
    limited staff availability

    Homey atmosphere with excellent coffee and tea selection.

    The location of Allison House 16 was quite confusing, as there is another Allison House across the road. The front desk services are extremely limited, with no staff available during the night, making potential emergencies problematic. the bathroom sink was absurdly small, making basic tasks like filling a kettle quite challenging.

    noise concerns

    The spacious room was beautifully maintained, featuring a comfortable bed and a delightful ensuite bathroom. Rhona and Brian's warm hospitality made me feel welcomed, while the breakfast offered a delightful variety, from fresh fruit to a delicious full Scottish breakfast.

    Limited parking options.

    Comfortable Experience with Room for Improvement

    The standard double room offered a cozy ambiance, but the bed could benefit from an upgrade for comfort. Despite some concerns about security, the overall stay was peaceful. Future guests should explore nearby dining options and enjoy the local attractions while ensuring their valuables are secure.

    quiet neighborhood
    clean room
    limited parking

    great location but limited parking options

    The location was perfect in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to public transit. The self-check-in process made arrival seamless and stress-free. The room was clean, cozy, and offered a lovely view of the surrounding green space. I appreciated the excellent tea and coffee selection available during my stay.

    Parking options are quite limited in the area, which could pose challenges with vehicles.

    limited shops
    quiet area

    The Standard Double Room was pretty comfy. The bed was nice, and the view was lovely, looking out onto a little green space. It felt cozy and clean, definitely made for a good night’s sleep. The self-check-in was convenient too. Although the area was quiet, there weren’t many shops nearby, so keep that in mind if you want to grab snacks easily.
