Very Good

We had a great room with everything we needed. There was plenty of room, and best of all they had every plug you need. There was a nice pastry type breakfast and coffee machine to make coffee your own way. The staff was very friendly.
The room itself was fine and spacious. The towel warmer didn’t work in the bathroom. Overall the property is very old but the rooms have been updated so that’s a plus. The breakfast in the morning is more than lacking: coffee machine doesn’t work, everything is stale and old, and it’s first come first served and they don’t refill anything. Also, it’s a long walk away from old town.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Property was so so. Slanted floors, creaky doors, walls very thin. I could hear the baby crying in the next room and hear our neighbors doors shutting. Breakfast was pastries, coffee, juice only everyday.
The location of this property was excellent. It had great accessibility to buses which could get you all around the city. The big downfall of the property was the heat in the rooms! The addition of fans would have been very helpful. Even though the windows were open and it was cool at night, it didn’t seem to cool the room very much. Pastries at breakfast weren’t always fresh so having stale pastries 4/5 days we were there was a downside. The staff was really helpful.
Great location in a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of cafes nearby and not too far from transit lines into the main touristy areas. The room is very comfortable, clean and well maintained. There is also a lounge room for taking breaks in before checking in and after check-out which was so convenient. We absolutely loved our stay here!
Really great hotel and fantastic stay, beds were slightly firm but mostly comfortable. The walls are very thin especially if you’re next door to a hen party, but breakfast is included and the hotel is in an amazing location close to all the attractions for a reasonable price. The shower was also one of the best showers myself and my partner have ever encountered in a hotel. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for having us!

Très basique. Strict minimum. Pour une nuit seulement.
Hotel was not in the type of neighborhood I expected. My room (96) on the 0 floor required me to go through two closed doors. The hall lights were motion activated and stepping into a dark, closed hall was a little unnerving. 1 front desk person was very nice, all others were pretty disinterested. Although my room was fine, I heard many other guests complain about maintenance issues.
The free breakfast consisted of either croissant or chocolate roll. They said juice, but in four days I never saw any. You had to be there early or they ran out as they were first come, first serve.
If anyone was making noise in a nearby room you could hear all the noise
All in all, I would not stay there again.
The hotel was reasonably priced and was relatively close to the Royal Mile. Staff were friendly and helpful. The one thing that did bother me was that their coffee maker had been broken for some time and they didn't appear to be in any hurry to fix it.

The property is an old building/hotel. It is centrally located to Old Town. Very walkable.
Rooms are small. Depending on where your room is located, you will hear the garbage trucks removing trash at 6:00am. In the evening the glass recycling bin is also next to the dumpster and you will hear many glass bottles being deposited as staff members finish cleaning up.
The room we are in, has an exit sign over the only door into our room that lights up in green and is so bright the whole room is illuminated.
The room is clean, but very tight. Staff depending on whom is working isn’t always friendly or helpful.

Close to walk to various locations around Edinburgh. Bed was soft but comfortable. Shower could do with a anti slip mat. Complimentary bagels and croissants at breakfast although choc au pain were hard. Coffee machine out action so had to boil kettle. Free bottles water available Awkward heavy doors to open on floor 2 leading to our room. . Signs are needed when using stairs as not clear how to get to reception. Nothing on door or wall as guidance. Staff all.very helpful. Would stay again
Lovely updated hotel with great lounge areas and complementary snacks! Very walkable to the Royal mile. The walls were a bit thin and you could hear guests in the hallway. Otherwise, I’d highly recommend!
