cramped bathroom

The City Residence had a pleasant outdoor area that, while not accessible, offered a lovely view and atmosphere.

The bathroom layout was problematic. the toilet was cramped and not ideal for privacy when shared with other guests.

easy self check-in

Positive, I enjoyed a nice, small accommodation not far from the city with easy self check-in and a lovely, big bathroom. The room was perfect for me as a solo traveler. The bus stops outside made getting around super convenient.

i loved how close my stay was to famous sites like the palace of holyroodhouse, just a lovely 15-minute walk away, and the beautiful princes street gardens, which were only a 10-minute stroll, perfect for enjoying some fresh air and city views.

good communication

comfortable room

cramped bathroom

worn fixtures

maintenance needed

Good communication from the host was a highlight, along with convenient luggage drop-off, making arrival stress-free. The room was comfortable and clean, providing nice bedding and fresh towels. However, the bathroom's layout felt cramped, and the surrounding area could benefit from some maintenance, as certain fixtures showed wear. The nearby bus stop was a significant advantage for easy access to attractions and local dining options, including a great iced coffee shop just a block away.

occasional disruptions

The spacious bathroom was a highlight, newly remodeled and clean, offering more room than expected. Strong heating ensured a cozy atmosphere during my visit, and convenient access to the city center made exploring easy. However, the overall ambiance felt less inviting, and there were occasional issues with noise from nearby rooms.
