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!

This price is quite affordable in Edinburgh. The room is equipped with a hair dryer, a large bucket of drinking water, and the WiFi signal is also good. Ctrip shows that you can only check in before 8pm, but in fact you can check in before 10:30pm. You just need to call or email the store in advance to let them know.

Very basic accommodation. Questioned the cleanliness a little bit and there was a strong smell throughout the guesthouse. But it does the job of providing a bed for one or two nights in Edinburgh if you’re looking for affordable accommodation.

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 room is good but the staff replied very late to my phone call, there's said the check-in time is 2pm but there was nobody when I arrived at 2pm, I waited outside the door until 2.30pm after someone came.

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.

It is believed that this small hotel has been opened for a short time, and it was assigned to the basement. The rooms are as small as subdivided rooms, the toilets and showers are extremely small, the toilet water is not properly filled, and other facilities are average. I stayed for 2 days and no staff cleaned the room. Overall, it is not as good as the level of hospitality to tourists.

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.
