Mixed feelings about this place. Let me start with the staff being GREAT! Besides that: It’s NOT a hotel, which I understood before staying here. However, you are paying hotel prices and would expect a decent bed and a certain level of cleanliness. Bed was terribly uncomfortable, and our bathroom had a strong stench of pee from day one. I asked reception to get it cleaned throughout the day and they didn’t do it, when I returned at night someone came right away and cleaned it. It smelled clean for one hour but once the chemical smell went away it was back. It smelled like a public bathroom. Shower had a whole wall of tiles with mold. On top of that, the bathroom light has a sensor and takes quite a few minutes to turn off. Not sure if I would stay here again.

Were a couple in our 50's that stayed as we booked late for Fringe & couldnt find any other affordable accommodation. It was the same as our daughters uni flat - which amused us!! The 3/4 size bed was "cosy" but comfortable. En suite was spotless with a better shower than our daughter's got! Used the kitchen fotmr hot drinks only. Walkable into town. We weren't sure what we'd make of it, but turned out to be great & would book again.

İlk olaraq bura otel deyil ona görə də gözləntini aşağı tutmaq lazımdı. Otelin girişindən şampun və duş geli götürmək olur amma otaqda sabun yoxdu. Matras çox narahat idi və bir də dəmir yolunun tam yanında olduğu üçün hər 15-20 dəqiqədən bir keçən qatar səsi bəzən bezdirir adamı. Buna baxmayaraq şəhərin mərkəzinə yaxın olmasına və qiymətinə görə qalmaq olar.

The rooms are perfect for budget travelers. The property was well kept. Every 5 rooms had access to a full kitchen. The place is very clean and quiet and the rooms had private clean bathrooms with shower and a desk plus ample storage for clothing.. it is walkable to a number of bus stops and in a relatively quiet area. The only issue o has is that the mattress was completely worn down, only about 3 inches thick and you could feel every single spring popping through.

Left after 1 night

It was clean and basic as I'd expected it would be. Kitchen was well equipped and the ensuite was fine. The mattress was the big problem with springs sticking in our backs all night. That coupled with the flatmates who came back at 3am and insisted on slamming doors for 2 hours meant we found somewhere else to stay for our second night. Would not go back.

Close to the city but not the best option

Reception is available 24/7 and they are very kind and friendly. Unfortunately our room didn’t have working lights, we reported the issue since the very first night but it never got fixed. As reference we were there three nights. Also, they didn’t clean our room during our stay. Important the place is called Breau House not Holyrood.

It was a nice and decent place to stay. At the time we went (late August) it was the most affordable place to stay in the city. We got two rooms with double beds and they were even able to get us rooms in the same section. Overall it actually exceeded what we were expecting so kudos to them.
