Although it is a little far from the train station, the public facilities are good. The public spaces such as the kitchen and bathroom are clean and tidy. There are also sofas, pianos and other furniture in the public spaces. The price is reasonable compared to other accommodations.

It is a nice place for us Backpackers to crash in for a few days. 30mins walking distance to the hike to Arthur's Seat, very close to a nice park in the front. The staff are friendly and there are Nintendo Switch, guitar, book, magazines etc in the common room. Fun place!

Quiet and clean. Hill Hotel IBI is much cleaner than Free Inn. While studying abroad in the UK, I had an obsession with cleanliness, never touching the curtains with my bare hands in hotels, B&Bs, etc. (I am obsessive to the dirty Europeans, but I am normal when you think of the average accommodation that is not cleaned even once from opening to closing). It was cozy, clean, and there was no smell. warmth. In the winter, I shiver even when I wear a t-shirt and a padded vest over it, and even in the middle of summer in July and August, I turn on the electric blanket at night and early in the morning. But it was warm. Above all, they are friendly and have a nice kitchen.

Because the flight was canceled, I had to return one day later than planned. It was my first time to experience a backpacker hotel, and it was really good. We arrived at ten o'clock, because the latest check-out from the hotel was 11 o'clock, and we had already booked a castle tour at 11 o'clock. It might have been past the 7 o'clock key collection time when we returned to the hotel after a day of fun, but the clerk was still very active in helping us find a way. Everything was taken care of very well, allowing us to spend the day happily without interruption. As a backpacker hotel, it is really good. The overall guest room is very comfortable and warm. We were given a triple room on the top floor with a double bed and a single bed. The elderly did not have to worry about climbing up and down. The shared bathroom on the floor is also very clean and tidy, and the roommates who share it also use it well. It is very convenient to have a sink in the room, which is very convenient for washing fruits, washing hands, brushing teeth and face. The room also has a TV and a small safe. The bedside table is equipped with a mirror, a chest of drawers and a cute closet. My small suggestion is that it would be better if there were more places to hang clothes, otherwise I think it is very good.

The triple room turned out to have only two beds. I was careless. In order to save this money, it was not worth it.
