There was no check-in desk or staff that we ever saw, it was all done through instructions in a message. The room is very basic for travelers. And the shower/bathroom is not made for larger or big people. Thankfully we were all small, it’s a tight fit!! But great location and place to just put your head down for the night.

Your property is quite nice and clean but one thing is the room I booked is quite small and it don’t give me more space. Not sure if it is wheelchair friendly because there is a stair. No staff is around for help.

The property has no staff available at the property, you can't contact them by email, and their phone has a voice mail but not necessarily a person who can respond. The is a fine place, if you simply need a clean, minimalist place; but not if you need the support of a hotel staff; which I did because my return flight was cancelled, and there was no one I could speak with at the hotel to let me know if I could stay an extra night. When I was finally able to get through to a person, they let me know that I needed to check out because they had not availability, and they did not give me any recommendation to solve my problem. Fortunately, I was able to find another hotel room through expedia.

Very friendly staff, welcoming. Very comfortable to be able to self check in and out. Very quiet area for a good sleep, at the same time super close to the busy city centre. Spotless room, very clean sheets, towels, bathroom . All in all , a memorable stay and excellent service. Thank you so much 😊

An old home broken up into several hotel rooms. Room 6 was lovely with high ceilings and a piano. The room was clean, and central to everything! You could easily walk to The Royal Mile, Princes Street, and Waverley Station ( if you need to access the trains or busses). You will require data as the property emails you your entry info and room key code. Wifi was initially spotty but the issue was resolved. We couldn’t figure out how to turn our radiator off so opened the lovely big old windows to nicely cool down the room. Would definitely stay again!

We were not delighted with our stay. They advertised luggage storage, but we were told we could leave our luggage in the main hallway, unsupervised. There was black mold on the caulking in the shower, and there was no water pressure in our bottom floor unit.

Walking up that many flights of stairs with so much luggage was horrible. Had no idea there wouldn't be an elevator. The fact that 3 of us were in room and only one key msde it very hard. I think 2nd key would have been appreciate.

We were pleasantly surprised by the private suite with an en-suite which we were not expecting. The self-serve door and key system was ok but a bit finnicky. Other than the room being cold and the shower being a bit weird, no complaints!

Theatre Visit
Check In was helped by the presence of a staff member. This was fortunate as the coded key release system seemed to be playing up. We were in the basement room which was fine but the stairs were a little tricky with cases. The location is really good. 5 minutes walk from the Playhouse Theatre where we were seein a performance. It is just a 15 minutes walk from the railway station,10 from the bus station and 5 from a tram stop. We would happily stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was not at all as described -- I was placed in the basement of a completely different property than the one listed on the Expedia site. The room I was given smelled terrible and did not have locks on the bedrooms doors and, as a single woman traveling alone, I felt very unsafe with this. I brought up my concerns with the staff and they refused to help. Due to safety reasons, I ended up canceling my booking and staying elsewhere, but the staff at the hotel continued to be unhelpful, refused to give me a refund and were rude in general. They also acted like they didn't understand any questions, gave me the run around, hung up on me and the expedia representative and blocked my email address. The behavior of the staff just confirmed my gut feelings that this is not a great place to stay. Overall, this booking experience has been the worst hotel experience of my life. Avoid at all costs.
