The property is fairly close to bus and tram transportation. It's 2 block walk to the main road that connects directly to Princes street. My main complaint is there is only once accessible outlet in the bedroom. There are outlets you can use in the kitchen which we did. No outlet other than for a shaver connection (not a standard outlet) in the bathroom. Had to use the one outlet available in the bedroom to use the hair dryer (or use the kitchen outlet). With 4 adults and phones, iPad, portable chargers to re-charge, that was an inconvenience. There is no option to purchase any water or snacks in hotel. We were placed on the first floor which was super convenient given our heavy luggage. I don't think there is a lift.

Honestly one of the worst stays I’ve had in a hotel. We initially went to drop off our bags but couldn’t be checked in yet as we were slightly early so we said no problem can we leave our bags and then check in later on and that was fine with the receptionist. Later when returning nobody was at the desk to let us in so we waited, rang both numbers available and buzzed for about 25 minutes, then someone coming in kindly let us in so we got in and waited another 5 minutes until we saw our key in an envelope with our name and room number on so we got it and went upstairs. 20 minutes later we got a call back from reception so we explained and was told “I was only away from the desk for 10 minutes” which was just clearly untrue and my call log can show otherwise. So we basically just said we have checked in now so it’s done and ended the rather passive aggressive call from the receptionist. Everything in the room looked as if it was found on Facebook marketplace secondhand or something. The shower was like a trickle down your back and the temperature was a choice of either scalding, tepid or freezing, the tap in the kitchenette only had warm water and the rest of the room was just incredibly strange. There was even a random ottoman for some strange reason. We never saw a soul at the desk after that first encounter and the only positive I could possibly saw is that it wasn’t disgustingly dirty and it had a lot of plug sockets. Overall I’m really unhappy with this stay.

We had difficulty getting into the property even though we had advised them of late arrival. They sent an email through Expedia explaining how to get in which Palmerston showed me, but I still haven’t received! We did love the neighborhood and the 75 steps up to our room were invigorating!!

Liked: Cleanliness
Warm and good value but see comments
The room was warm, and the bed comfortable (though the bottom sheet wasn't big enough for the double bed; I was alone; two people might have been more affected by this). (1) Biggest flaw: NO TABLE/BREAKFAST BAR OR CHAIRS TO EAT FOOD. (In fact no chair at all), though basic cooking facilities (microwave, small hob, kettle, toaster), pans and utensils were provided; nor were there any trays to eat off one's lap. (2) Not suitable for anyone of limited mobility or 'traditional build': the stairs down to my basement room had no rail for part of the way, and the shower and surrounding area were cramped (though the water was nice and hot)

We came here for new years eve, good location 10min walk to princess street. Really enjoyed our stay just a couple of things to be aware of... there is no lift and a lot of stairs, we had requested a low level room as i have mobility issues and were put right on top floor with 6 sets of stairs was not ideal. Room was lovely, cleaned and fresh towels everyday. 1 of the days we got up late and the cleaner walked straight in without knocking. Very apologetic but also embarrassing for me as i was just in a towel after showering. Room was extremely hot all the time. Not a bad stay

NIGHTMARE HOTEL. We had booked a 4 night stay in what seemed to be a well located - good reputation apartment block. How wrong we were. We were awoken in the middle of the night (twice, one at 2am & another night at 4am) to banging on the front communal door and then somebody banging on our own front windows (right by our bed) as we were staying on the ground floor. This was utterly terrifying to say the least. Even if this was someone locked out- this didn’t matter- we called the out of hours emergency number and it went straight to voicemail multiple times, when speaking to the receptionist the next morning who was utterly helpless, she was more concerned that we had phoned 101 to get advice from The police rather than checking what had happened. The police actually attended the property to investigate after we called 999 due to this being multiple times that someone was banging on our windows trying to gain access into the building. They thought it became a concern for welfare. The room itself was very basic. A tap that you could almost pull off when trying to turn it on, a door that looked like it has been kicked in, very basic kitchen supplies - we ended up buying even kitchen spray and wipes for the surface as there was nothing to use - the fans for the bathroom and kitchen barely worked and the overall room was not worth the ridiculous amount of money we payed for it. We are utterly fed up and disappointed in this stay, we will NEVER be staying here again.

Good value
This was good value with a central location and I would stay again as close to my office for work. The room was a decent size. Shower was a bit small but good pressure. The curtains were a bit stained and could do with being replaced, same with sofa. Overall decent experience.
