It’s like exactly as in the photo. Super comfy with daily cleaning. Staff is super friendly and just amazing. Special thanks to Martha for all her tips and support and her colleague with the help of my luggage. Location is good. Bus stop is just in front of the property and up to 20 min to city center.

Perfect location to use as base. Excellent and reasonably priced restaurants and bars within walking distance. Spacious and very comfortable rooms - we even had a small table with chairs in the room. We appreciated the coffee, tea and small instant breakfast that was provided. Small fridge was a bonus. Friendly and helpful hosts.

This is a fantastic place to stay in Edinburgh! The location is great because you're far enough away from the madness to relax, but still close to buses and downtown. The room we stayed in was also on the top floor and had beautiful skylights. It was so relaxing seeing the stars as we went to sleep! The owners are lovely and on the property so that was a great bonus.

It was a pleasure hosting at Innisfail Edi by Raffaella . They were respectful of the house rules, kept the apartment clean, and communicated well throughout their stay. I would gladly host them again!”I had an absolutely wonderful experience with this hosting and accommodation! From the moment I arrived, the host was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring every detail was perfect. The property was spotless, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay—cozy bedding, a well-stocked , and modern amenities. The location was ideal, close to local attractions yet peaceful for a relaxing retreat. The host went above and beyond, providing thoughtful recommendations for dining and activities, making my trip truly memorable. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an exceptional stay! Thank so much Raffaella for your lovely and warm hosting. Mohamed.
