"Value for money"
One night for a trip to Edinburgh. Rather basic amenities but very clean for the price and location - Not mentioned is the need for a mobile phone to access the accom. Very convenient for buses to Edinburgh once you worked them out, lots of local shops and restaurants Read less
Likes:
The rooms,bathrooms and common areas were very clean and well cared for bedding was comfortable and for one night very adequate accom, would have preferred more amenities for a longer stay.
Dislikes:
I think that 'Hotel' is not an accurate description, it is more a superior hostel. Which is fine as it was so unexpensive.

"A very terrible place to be put in"
We had a very lousy evening staying in this place. One it is next to the cemetry and second there is no staff attending you to show you the place.

Once you enter the place, it feels it is haunted - the room though good was not secured - the french windows remain open and to top it all there was no heating. It was extremely cold. When phoned for assistance, no one picked up after several calls and smses. The site said breakfast included but there was no breakfast.

A very horrible stay!!!! Read less
Likes:
Nothing at all.
Dislikes:
No heating - no body to call upon when needed assistance and phone nos. provided were never answered

5A Balcarres St is in a popular residential suburb of Edinburgh called Morningside. We provide our guests with clean and comfortable accommodation at affordable prices. We are within easy striking distance of the city centre by foot or by bus and have some fantastic eateries, drinking holes, and shops at our doorstep.

Bed linen, towels, TV with digital access, WiFi broadband internet access, kitchen facilities and a self service laundry and drying room are all provided as standard. There is a choice of en suite rooms and rooms with shared facilities. There is also a well equipped kitchenette and guest's lounge. All of our rooms have access to the shared kitchen and living room, which is furnished with a TV and social area. In good weather, the garden and patio promises a delightful setting for relaxation.

Morningside is a genteel area in the south-west of Edinburgh, Scotland. Morningside landmarks include the Morningside Clock, originally in the middle of the roadway as the clock for Morningside Station (part of the suburban railway line); the elaborately decorated Canny Man's pub (formerly The Volunteer's Arms) on the corner of Canaan Lane; and the Bore Stane, an ancient monument adjacent to the former Parish Church.

Based in the south-west of Edinburgh, 5A Balcarres St is a few minutes walk from the fashionable area of Bruntsfield, which is home to boutique shopping and a myriad of independent eateries. We are set in one of the private broad tree-lined avenues housing Victorian townhouses, Georgian Mansions and Edwardian villas set within large gardens. The city centre is approximately a 25 minute walk or 5 minute taxi ride away.
