Summary: The twin room with ensuite was much larger than I expected and on the ground floor which was a pleasant surprise given how heavy my suitcase was. Certainly not luxury accommodations but fine for the price. It was VERY loud outside the room in the evening with people shouting and generally enjoying their time in Edinburgh, but once I fell asleep I didn’t notice anything anymore.
