Great location for exploring Edinburgh, city centre is easily walkable. Arrived late due to transport issues and host was very accommodating. Room was downstairs so no windows, but was clean and a nice place to stay in. Private bathroom wasn’t en suite which wasn’t an issue, but I feel like this could have been made clearer when booking. Other than that, great price for a very convenient location.

Sadly, 230 nights on hotel.com this is the worst
I stayed here for 2 nights. I am a frequent travelled and a £180 for 2 night. I have never rated a hotel less the 7/10 in 150+ properties I have staying in throughout the UK and Europe. I am a solicitor who travels internationally and like small local hotels. I booked a single garden room which is sadly was not provided. I instead got a basement room with no natural light, garden view, or internal toilet. The below review, is not an exaggerator, change of wording or dishonest in any way. The room was a not a garden room, instead a basement room facing a completely blocked out fire escape window with no natural light. There appeared to be a false wall behind this. I was appalled. The bathroom and shower area, for the room were around 15 feet away at the other end of the hall with a sign that read “we monitor who uses this” - great if it’s kids. The shower head was covered in mould and the on off switch was hanging off the wall. I would state this could be a legionnaires disease risk. The room, had zero natural light, lines (apart from the towels, were at least 30 years old. The bathroom had signs all over switches, which stated “do not touch”, and loose tiles, to hold parts together, and holes were present throughout the bathroom. The shower was loose, falling off the wall. The red carpet covering the house, was filthy. The Kettle provided had rust, and I was unable to sleep due to the loud shouting in the room above of an indian/urdu male swearing and screaming

I didn’t like having to walk over the bed to get to the sink. Most makeshift room I’ve ever seen. Shower and most of the place is falling to pieces

Not looking to get Leagionnaires disease
do you like mold and high humidity basements with disgusting bathrooms? then, this is the place for you. The Edinburgh City Council should condemn this hotel until it is safe to occupy.

Wow. And not in a good way! My friend and I learned a valuable lesson on our first trip to Edinburgh: ALWAYS read the reviews before booking. The Sakura B&B is no B&B: no breakfast, REALLY old linens, so old I would not use them to comfort a stray dog or cat, no ensuite as indicated on their website, but rather a bathroom down the hall and around the corner: turn right just before the leaking ceiling! Who would want to shower in a moldy shower or brush their teeth in rusty, moldy sink? A dark, dank, basement room with a filthy window, decorated with deodorizer units, and a "garden view" of sewage pipes, and a stone wall festooned with moss and mildew. Extension cords running across the carpets - yes, carpeting that helped to build upper body strength as one tried to open or close the door. It was a delight to hear the conversations in the next room well into the late hours. Not. And goodness knows what bit me during the nights we stayed but I awakened with a patch of bite marks on my face, with dots of blood on my pillow...and the little beast that I squashed on my bed. Oh, but there was one good thing: my wrinkled shirt lost all its wrinkles in the room as a result of the dampness.
