My stay at Edinburgh Townhouse was enjoyable, thanks to its central location and comfortable rooms. However, the limited check-in window was a bit inconvenient, especially since I missed the morning time. Thankfully, I discovered a lovely nearby restaurant, which made up for it (great food and atmosphere!).

I had a pleasant stay at Edinburgh Townhouse, enjoying its great location with stunning views of the castle and the sea. The room was modern and clean, although the floor's lean was a bit quirky. I faced a challenge with the keypad entry system, especially when it rained, but the friendly staff made the experience enjoyable. Overall, I felt it was a good bargain for a central spot in the city.

I had a lovely stay at Edinburgh Townhouse, which is in an absolutely perfect location for exploring the city. The room was cozy and clean, and I appreciated having a private bathroom along with plenty of towels. However, there's a bit of a climb to the top floor, which might not suit everyone.
