"Great location!"
The room looked quite tired and dated - perhaps time for a refurb. Some of the surfaces were peeling off the vanity unity and side tables, the bath panel was swollen from water damage and the air con panel was cracked and made awful crackling noises when the fans were on. However, the staff are very friendly, cheerful and helpful. Better choice of food for different dietary requirements. Location! A short walk from the train station and sightseeing buses. Tram and other bus stops almost outside the door. It’s also really not far to walk to the shops, cafes/restaurants and the landmarks of Edinburgh.
"Great value in a convenient location."
Conveniently located walking distance from the train station, and just a few blocks from a bus station. Clean room, comfortable bed, enough space to unpack, and store our belongings. Continental breakfast was a good value, and high quality. Friendly and helpful staff.
"A poor experience"
We paid a premium £174 for one night ( due to our circumstances we couldn’t book more than 2 weeks in advance). We were allocated Room 1 - floor-1. On opening the door the stale, musty smell which hit us was awful. We returned to check in and were offered a room on the first floor. The positive was the room was in a quiet location with no road noise. We had to ask for the bathroom to be cleaned properly- especially the sink and toilet. There is mould on the bath edging. In the bedroom the laminate surface on the unit is falling off and the bedside table looks as if it is about to fall off the wall. On a more positive note, the staff were friendly and did their best to address our issues. As a tip for future travellers- try elsewhere first and definitely avoid floor -1 Rooms 1 to 15.
"Great Location; Friendly Staff"
You really can't beat the location. It's right next to the tram, the bus station, dozens of places to eat, and isn't a far walk from the Royal Mile. Staff was friendly, rooms were clean, and check in is 24 hours. The bed wasn't the most comfortable but if you don't expect much it's perfectly suitable. The shower doubles as a bath which is both good and bad since the step over is a tad high. They also include a hair dryer, an iron and table, a place to hang some clothes, and the general body wash/lotions/etc you'd expect.
"I recommend this place"
Perfect location, close to shops, mall, transportation means. Clean room and bathroom, with a lot of amenities, just missing a mini fridge. Kind and welcoming staff, comfortable beds. Prices are high anywhere you go so at this place it's just right. Quiet area. Didn't eat at the hotel, because we never had time.
