Nice location in Canonmills
We stayed here for two weeks and were pleased with our choice. Located in Canonmills it's convenient both to Princes Street/The Royal Mile and Leith. If you don't want to walk, you can take the Lothian 8 bus from the Rodney Street stop around the corner from the Tesco up to either St. James Quarter at Leith Street or South Bridge. The 36 from Broughton Road will get you to Leith, or you can head down McDonald Road to the tram station. Beds were comfy; it was nice and clean; the carpet and furniture a little worn, but that's to be expected and I've stayed in hotels with grungier furnishings!); and having an elevator was great since I use a cane.My only real complaint was that the window treatments don't do much to block the light. Not a problem in winter, but for late April/early May, we were up early with the sun. I'd suggest bringing a sleep mask if you want to sleep in!Communication with the host was prompt and clear, which was good because we had a broken closet handle that needed repairs. We knew when the engineer was coming, so no surprises.Also I appreciated not having to do a deep clean on our way out. Made our last morning very relaxed!So if you're looking for an Edinburgh stay that's a little off the beaten path but still easy to access Waverley and the major sites with some public transportation or walking? It's a good location. (I would get a cab to and from Waverley though - it's about a mile away over sidewalks interspersed with cobblestone streets.)
