A little far from city centre but the place is near to restaurants and parks. The room was not ready at check in time so we were allowed to check out later to compensate for the short wait. The room was quite old and the sink and bath area quite mouldy. However, the staff was friendly and helpful.

The staff were friendly and hotel location was fairly good. There are plenty of restaurants and markets nearby. It is about a 15-20 minutes walk to center and many bus stops available.

Very Good

The location is about a 10-15 minute walk from Edinburgh, and there is a bus stop nearby so I had no problem getting there.
The University of Edinburgh is also nearby so the surrounding atmosphere was not bad and was very nice.
The owner was kind and adjusted the check-in time and left my luggage in my room.
Also, unlike other guesthouses, they provided water for boiling water, so I was able to stay comfortably.
The bathroom is shared, but it was easy to use and I was able to use the wifi without any problems.

The room is in the basement, and there is no bathroom. You need to walk many steps in the corridor to use the toilet and shower. You also need to use a key to open and lock the door, which is very inconvenient. The room has no ventilation and lighting, and is too closed, dark and damp, which is completely different from the name of the hotel, Sakura!

When you arrive on the first day, you need to call the person in charge. The B&B is not always occupied. The bathroom needs to be shared and the water pressure is very weak. The heating will suddenly disappear at night, but the price is affordable, there are many clothes racks, and there is free drinking water.

The hygiene is so bad that you can't imagine that the sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases have not been changed. There are yellow stains on the bed. It is really disgusting and the sheets are all black and pilling. Why does Ctrip cooperate with such a store and must ban it? I arrived at around 10pm. When I arrived, I rang the doorbell and no one answered. According to the sign on the door, no one opened the door. I called and was told that someone would come and open the door in 5 minutes. I waited for nearly 20 minutes and a boss who looked like he was Mexican came. I took the key and put it in the room. I opened the two beds and looked at it. I almost felt sick. I immediately called the boss again after a few rings and then hung up. I responded to his request according to the text message that told me to open the door immediately. There was no reply when changing the bedding. It was almost 11pm local time. I couldn't help it. I contacted Ctrip. I wanted to give up my stay that night. I left without staying. During this period, I also contacted the store owner. The reply given by the owner was that they could not change the bedding. It was really weird. I have videos and photos to prove it. Let’s see for yourself how you can live in such a sanitary environment. Generally, I don’t like to comment on the fact that the first night of my trip to Edinburgh was so disgusting.
