We got out all the way on the third floor. This hotel has no elevators so we had to drag our heavy suitcases over 2 flights of stairs and through narrow hallways and hard to open doors. Show was super small and cold water with low pressure. Bad smell in the property. The room window wouldn't shut completely so there were car noises when trying to fall asleep. Complicated check in process. Spend your money somewhere else for the price you pay here..

Crappy hotel
This hotel is terrible and should not be booked by anyone, how can you tell a guest requesting why there’s no air conditioning in the room that they won’t need it eventually because the weather will get cold in the evening, customer service is crap as well they know how to collect your money but to refund they start telling you crap

Pleasure to stay only down fall is cleanliness could be better. Dust on floor behind bedside cabinet and thick on the plug sockets also. I would of expected it to be cleaner for what we paid. Having worked as a room attendant and know the standards that customers prefer.

Good overall, a lot of money for a small space
We came for a Taylor swift concert, we unfortunately could not get a room anywhere, this one was the only one left, and it was an extortionate £300 a night for just a bed and a shower, there was no food, the room was very clean, nothing wrong with any of that, just at £300 a night I would have preferred a bigger room or breakfast, as the bedroom was very small

Not a hotel, by accepted standards.
We arrived at 1:15 pm but check in was not until 3:0 pm. Having driven from Inverness, some 5 hours on the road, I needed the bathroom, but they did not have one available. The only bathrooms are in the rooms, which you cannot access until after 3:0 pm. No food available within 15 minute walk, then it was Cosco, Greggs or Subway, but not after 5:30 pm when shopping centre closes. The outside tempetature was 13 degrees and there was no heat in the room. When asked about this at reception I was told, "It is not cold enough to turn on the heating and if we did that for you we would need to do that for all the hotel guests". I was then given a small fan heater to use. Temperature is centrally controlled for all rooms.

Don't stay here.

The place did not have much facilities . The milk sachets kept were expired 3 months ago and did not have even proper drinking water facilities and no floor mat on the washroom . The room was very congested for 3 people for that price of the stay .

The shower was awful
This has the potential to be a great hotel but at the moment overpriced. As soon as I got in the room I noticed an odd fishy smell. I very soon after realised this was the kettle. There is free wifi but it’s really poor. The noise from the road was bad. My biggest irritant was the shower had no pressure. There was just a dribble of water to get washed in. I was thinking about extending my stay but with no tea, wifi and proper shower I decided not to.
This was a nice church near the Northumberland.
A railway line also near the Northumberland.
St Giles church in the High St of Edinburgh.

Very noisy. Room was right at the front door so you heard every coming and going from 5am. Room also faced onto a main road so once the traffic got started in the morning forget getting any sleep. Bed was also a metal bed frame that squeaked every time you turned over. There would definitely be no " fun" taking place. Lol. Definitely wasn't worth the £99 price tag for 1 night. Very basic more hostel like. If I could ask for money back I would ! Dont know about other rooms we were in room 1. Definitely avoid this room if you plan on getting any sleep. Staff were helpful on the plus side.

There was no staff to checkin at 1pm and no staff at checkout at 10am, I had bags which I could not drop off which was very inconvenient. No breakfast offered at hotel. Window in room was very drafty and did not offer any sound insulation from the busy road
