The location was well placed for us, and it was easy to jump on the main tram. I cannot emphasize this enough. We should have stayed more nights. For the same price as some central accomodations you get to sleep on a boat. Cleanliness was top notch, and everything on the ship was well put together and design wise spoke to each other. Staff was extremely friendly. The breakfast area is beautiful. The bathroom looks amazing. You will not see such tiling in real buildings.

The location was very convenient. And the room was well appointed, very quiet, and incredibly clean. Even the bed was great (but queen-sized, so too small for couples)! Also breakfast had a wide variety of options and was delicious.

Staff were helpful and the guest house was very clean. The breakfast was ok with a choice of either hot or cold food. Have to say the cooked breakfast choice was limited and although the quantity was good it would have been good to have had say bacon rather than sausages every day. Location was excellent with bus stops into city centre outside. A very friendly place to stay.

Good basic accommodation for the Fringe, when it's hard to find places to stay for a reasonable price. Exactly what you would expect from a student room: decent bathroom, bed, desk, small wardrobe, quite spartan. Well equipped shared kitchen. Decent location with a supermarket and cafe downstairs and plenty of places to eat nearby. About a mile from the city centre. Friendly staff who seem to work very hard.
