Loved our stay at Forth House- everything was modern, spotlessly clean and new and convenient to the smallest detail- kitchen appliances, iron, hair dryer, coffee and tea and bicuits upon arrival😍🫶🏼 The location is wonderful- just a few minutes fron Tesco express and a large shopping mall. Short 5-10 min walk to Princess Street, Royal Mile, Waverly and Calton Hill. The beds and bedding were wonderful as well. Would definitely stay again😍

The room arrangement was superb, and when combined with the room and bathroom's cleanliness, it enhanced the overall experience. The concierge service was consistently outstanding on a daily basis. The host was exceptionally welcoming, helpful, and remarkably kind. There's nothing to complain about, except for a brief two-day period when the WiFi was subpar during my stay. Nonetheless, the host promptly resolved this issue once I brought it to her attention.
