The property is a charming older home and the owners have done a great job of modernizing the rooms - which were comfortable and clean. The staff was great and the breakfast was good too.

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean room was best feature. Walking up three flights of stairs (no lift) was not. Requested double bed, got two singles. Tiny, dated room. Location near Haymarket station was a plus. All in all, not a great value for money.

We love the location a beautiful facility. Our the learning was comfy as well. The only issue I had was around 11:30 PM and we had got there and it was a little stuffy in our room so I called and requested a possible fan and I told them I would come and get it and they said staff is no longer working so other than that it was a great day so it’s pretty good but I do wish there was a little more accommodating for something as simple as a fan
