Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Clean but no personal touch at all - only difficult communications through an intercom when we had questions and difficulty entering the building. Clean and reasonably safe and quiet, but NO space to set anything down or hang anything up. Plus, their listing said they have a restaurant: they used to offer breakfast but don't any more which presented problems for our family.

Lovely and clean, didn’t see staff but key was left in secure lock and had mobile phone number of owner so this wasn’t an issue. We were really pleased with the room, all recently redecorated. 5 min bus ride into main centre or £10 in taxi. Would definitely stay again

Nice stay with some good basic facilities

Pretty good and would use again. Shower was hot and bed was comfy. Parking in side streets fine. There's some shops along the streets surounding the hotel that are useful. Overall facilities pretty good. Would recommend

Nice room... small, but more than enough for one person. Bathroom was very modern. Good TV options. Nice bed. No lobby. Only issue was manager was not there during check-in. It created an issue, but otherwise it was fine.

We had a lovely room on the ground floor so easy in and out with luggage. Another challenging shower to figure out while trying not to get scalded. We were only there for a quick overnight before a very early flight and were happy to enjoy the quiet compared to old town center of Edinburgh.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Property is in poor condition, communication w managment poor. No email introduction as to what to expect on arriving. Rm 6, poor condition and very noisy. Rm 8 was in the back, quiet, worth the stay. Biilding is in poor condition, windows bad doors bad. Etc. No services close by, had to take a bus down town for coffee. No food on site. Thos prop does not deserve a 7 rating.

I booked this hotel for a 3 night stay and I had to ask for a refund and find lodging last minute as the conditions pf this property where very unsafe to stay in. The hotel itself at a glance outside will show you that the hotel hasn’t had a proper update since the late 90s. Balcony outside crumbling, half of the railing missing. Broken glass covered over with plastic. Thorn fitted carpet mended with duct tape. Surfaces covered in years of neglect. The hallways smell, the room is dark and has florescent bulb fixture. The bathroom is like a long corridor ( small that you cannot open your arms on the sides fully) with the toilet on one end and a shower on another with mold creeping on every nook and cranny of it. And the corners with years and years of improper cleaning. I was traveling with my husband and my 6 month old I asked for a refund as I didn’t want to have my baby exposed to this health hazard. The staff was very apologetic and understanding and helped with the refund. Spend the extra ££ and stay somewhere else.

Stay for the location - just over a walkable mile to the Royal mile - but not necessarily for a good night sleep on a busy road with poorly insulted windows and inadequate window covering to darken the room

Ich hatte ein Einzelzimmer im Souterrain mit Blick auf eine Mauer und Holzabfälle. Die Einrichtung ist ok, aber lieblos. Kein Bild an der Wand, nichts, was es irgendwie gemütlich macht. Keine Ablageflache im Bad. Personal gibt es nicht, alles ist sehr unpersönlich. Parkplätze gibt es auch nicht genügend, Frühstück gibt es gar nicht. Gut ist die Busanbindung fast direkt vor der Tür. Mehrere Linien fahren direkt ins Zentrum. Für eine Nacht mag das gehen, aber ich war froh, dass ich nur eine Nacht in diesem Zimmer sein musste.
