“The staff's friendliness stood out, creating a welcoming atmosphere that seems to defy some impressions I came across. I noted its prime location for exploring central Edinburgh, and comfortable bedding added to the appeal. However, the initial search for the place might involve a bit of a treasure hunt due to street numbering.”
