Hotel
This room has an ensuite with a food prep area. There's is a counter with a microwave and a fridge. Ideal for making a sandwich or quick heat up dinner. There is a cupboard in with plates etc and you could store a few food items... its a nice room but the smallest of the 4 but still very attractive and comfortable.

Lovely stay again, great room, just a little hiccup with the fire alarm going off a few times on the final night at 3am and then couldn’t get back to sleep. Will be back again though. Cant beat the location

A neat and tidy bedsit room with e/s. Exactly as described on the website. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Close to the Playhouse and not too far from the Festival. (£6 / £7) in an Uber. I'd happily stay here again.

Had a great stay at John’s place, nice easy walk to the theatre

It was a good stay in John's apartments, the staff were very friendly and the location to the Playhouse is brilliant only a 5 minute walk. It was plenty warm considering it was December and the bed is very comfy.
The lack of cooking facilities and sink was a struggle for 4 weeks, however this was communicated before hand.
If you are a light sleeper best to bring some earplugs as the walls are quiet thin.
If this isn't too important to you this is a great location for working at the Playhouse.

Great location to get to the Playhouse. Clean enough, and comfy bed. Would obviously have loved an oven to cook but great basic facilities. Found parking a 10 minute walk from digs too (not free, but reasonably priced). Would stay here again!

I had a great stay,
Yes it’s above a sauna, but I had no qualms or bother about it, the bed was comfy and sheets were clean, and hoovered during cleaning.
Communication was great, and I was always asked if I was okay and if I needed anything.
Thanks. Would stay again.

A perfect stay in a perfect apartment for the week. The staff downstairs were extremely helpful and friendly. And John was great at communication and check in information. Can’t wait to stay again next time.

Lovely room, great location…my only qualm would be the proximity to the public sauna should be noted on the details. Otherwise great

Great digs, 20 min walk to the festival theatre. Super central with lots of shops/restaurants near by and a nice walk into the old town.
Such a bonus having the room cleaned weekly, with fresh bedding/towels etc.
The staff were super helpful and friendly, would definitely stay again.
Thank you for a lovely stay!

Stayed here whilst working at the Playhouse. Excellent location for Playhouse. Less than a 5 minute walk. Great room size. Clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone working at the playhouse. I did see a previous review mentioning a loud generator sound.. I seemed to be in the same room (Room 4) and yes it is very loud. However this is only on during the day. At night its is wonderfully silent. Thanks for a great stay!

Overall a good stay.
Very loud buzzing noise in the day and off through the night.

Nice welcome tea, chocolates, water.

Had a wonderful stay here. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and secure and with the benefit of free parking plus a 5 minute walk to the theatre, it really was a great find. Would definitely recommend.

Great for my short stay in Edinburgh! Generator was a little loud but actually was off most of the night so was fine. Thank you!
5th Apr 2023
Great Location, only 10 mins to the playhouse and free parking which is a dream. Will definitely be staying here again!
27th Mar 2023
A great stay. Nice quiet location. Comfy bed and a parking space (which is like gold dust in Edinburgh) . I will certainly be booking again for my next tour.
