Room was dated and requires all round decoration. Shower has no support for shower head? Mattress was not comfortable at all and I could feel the wooden frame of the bed in my back. Awful nights sleep. Breakfast was a full cooked Scottish breakfast. Egg looked like it had been fried twice! Sausage was anaemic. In short the breakfast was not as pictured on the website. I didn’t eat it, I only had a round of toast and some badly tasting coffee. Poor experience, I will not be returning, massively overpriced. Staff were pleasant, the only positive!!!

No frills but great value & nice staff
This is a good hotel for a reasonable price - less than 20 minutes walk form the edges of the old town and attractions. Breakfast included becomes really valuable when prices in town are extortionate - nothing is LUX standard - but it's clean, everything works, including a strong hot shower) and the staff are nice. Nice public lounge and patio

We stayed in the room on the first floor. The room smelled musty and the bathroom smelled worse. The shower did not drain and filled the bathroom to the toilet but not to the sink and the bedroom. Likely where the smell was coming from because the shower did not drain properly. Took 15 minutes after a shower to get the water to drain. Shower shoes are a must. Told the front desk and they said they would take care of it. Also, most of the building is in a state of disrepair. Floors peeling up, odd smells, and old feeling throughout. This was our fourth stay third place we stayed at in Scotland and by far this was the worst. Needs work.

The property was well situated in the city. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the hotel itself is looking very run down and worn. The carpets are a bit stained and everything could really use an update. It worked for our needs but at the price we paid, I would have hoped things could have been a bit nicer.

AVOID !
Most Hotels in Edinburgh in my opinion are overpriced & this one is at the top of the league for it. £235 for a tiny outdated room beggars belief. On arrival there was no towels in our room after highlighting this we were told they would be put in "straightaway" after coming back from our night out soaked to the skin there were still no towels in room, down to reception again and we were handed damp towels ! Gave them back and told to wait "4 mins" for dry ones ? Again the towels were still damp ! Bed was so uncomfortable the base should be skipped. Breakfast, ordered a full cooked breakfast, cooked being the operative word here, every item was practically raw, disgusting even putting this on a plate! Hotel seemed to be run by amatures on all levels. Overpriced, run down & very poor standards throughout. Will never set foot in it again. Avoid at all costs.

It's pretty much the worst experience! Small room with very small TV and has no channels or any smart apps! No closet, we spent the whole week diving into our luggage in a very tight room. heating was not working needed to request a heater. No fridge no microwave. it says 24 room service that was a jock for sure, they never answered until we issued a complaint to expedia. mattress of the twin bed was with back pocking springs. Breakfast is the worst without any doubts. they only reason we had to stay is that they refused to refund us and the upgrade the room for us without much difference and because the location was good in the old town.
