Very overpriced
For the price it’s extremely small and basic! It wasn’t a cheap hotel but the most claustrophobic room I’ve ever stayed in! And so sweating hot! No shower door also meant the floor got soaking wet! I think you only pay for being walking distance to Edinburgh centre.

Very compact room but had what you needed for your stay. Was only here one evening and relatively close to major attractions as well as the train station - if you are in shape and not too much luggage can easily walk there. The front desk was across the street from our room and we had to walk down stairs to our room. The room was clean and the front doorman was nice. Would recommend, relatively budget friendly and good quality for americans (who tend to be used to larger rooms and more modern).

This property was clean, convenient walking distance to Waverley Station and staff very polite. Given the time of year, air conditioning would have been appreciated, however they did provide a fan!

The staff is extremely helpful. The property is clean and in a quiet neighborhood. The only drawback is the rooms are quite small

Stay was ok
The bathroom was not very clean I must say. Still hair from the prior guests and even little small hairs which was gross. No air conditioning and window did not open so in the summer, we were SUPER hot at night. Staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was average. stay was good overall minus the dirty bathroom
