Never again
Proabablt the worst hotel iv ever stayed in, onky picked it dur yo the location, which is a readon i also expecetdd it to be 100% better than it was. Was no hot water between 10am and 3pm, we asked for a refund which was refused by staff or ahould i say they had ang excuse not yo offer a refind or partial refund as we were not notified prior to check in. Room was smelly, didnt appear to be overly clean, toliet flushed but with 99% struggle from the plumbing side of it, wouldnt flush toliet roll. The curtain pole fell of tge wall when i tried closing them at night time. We also had a door in the room which lead to another resdients room which wasnt the issue it was the nose qe could hear, could here them soeaking on the phone, using the toliet, and even openeing cans. We also werent told about the paid parking, so i had to pay £15 for 2 days. I personally would avoid this hotel untill they sort and upgrade this establishment, becasue what an absolute shame it was for such a good location.

Sadly a very tired old property . I wanted to see the room before I checked in and was told I’d have to pay first . The room smelled badly of cheesy feet but I was able to open a window latch as on ground floor . There was a stand alone mini fridge which when opened stank of old rotten milk -hadn’t been cleaned . The coffee / tea and toiletries were of poor quality . The bedding and towels were very clean and adequate . There was black mould on the grouting in the shower . I had a room of 3 single beds and ended up trying all 3 as first one was do hard and uncomfortable I couldn’t sleep . I was happy to see a kettle in the room . Laura the new general manager was super helpful with my debrief and there is work pending to the bathrooms . The taxi I pre ordered the night before didn’t turn up so the manager helped me ring another company . The place was very busy with coach tours and the visitors seemed happy . I did not have breakfast .

Theres always a reason it's cheap
We were in town for a wedding which started at 13:30. I arrived at the hotel early roughly 12:30 to leave bags and potentially get an early check in as I had been advised to do by the hotel on the day before the event. The woman at the front desk informed us that they couldn't offer an early check in but she would leave a note at the front desk saying we would be back late. This either didnt happen or the message was lost because when we arrived back after the event had finished we were told that they had given our room away. This was around 02.00 on a bank holiday Sunday and we were told "I dont know what you want me to do" after standing about arguing with the front desk for about 10 minutes we were offered an out of service room that had no lights. Obviously we took it as it was either that or nothing but the situation itself was shocking to say the least. How can you pay money for something up front and then not be provided the thing you paid for. Pure greed on the part of the hotel. I felt sorry for the guy on the front desk who i genuinely believe hadn't been informed about us coming and he did give us a complimentary breakfast however I didnt feel like this was enough. I would recommend staying elsewhere.

Do not book this hotel.
The Hotel is very run down. The double glazing is sub standard as road noise was very audible. The photos are clearly old and not representative of the current state. We even had to put up with a delivery being made via a fire escape at 05:30 one morning.

It was nothing exceptional. It was clean & functional and on the cheaper side for Edinburgh. A short walk to Dean's Village. We stayed for 2 nights, and it was relatively quiet. Having to go to the lobby for wifi was a bit of a pain but I saw a few people down in the lobby working at tables.

Poorly serviced hotel with no quality
Staff have poor service first experience was walking into reception where the lady was on her phone, followed by her asking “can I help or you just standing there?” In the most sarcastic way possible. Secondly wanted to keep our bags at the hotel on day of checkout and had to pay extra for this service, I’ve never had this in any hotel I’ve stayed at before. Room was of decent quality as only a 1 night stay but if was staying for more than 2 nights it’s a big No! Shower wasn’t the cleanest and very dingy, room had poor view and overall not a great experience. To conclude, this hotel will do fine for a 1/2 night stay if you only plan to use it to sleep in, apart from that I’d recommend elsewhere.

You get what you pay for. This isn’t a top end hotel but better than I expected for the price. Bar and lobby area was lovely and outside seating area really nice. Staff mostly nice and helpful. Room is basic but clean.

Not a happy customer
Had the windowless room which makes you feel like you're in a prison cell, when I asked to change the room it took me 5 calls before I could get through to reception who were very rude and abrupt. When I asked if I could pay for an upgrade to a room with a window..... I was told 'no we have already overbooked by 6 rooms'. Customer service is terrible

to find this place you see the back of it the entrance is round the back and down the slope, your greeted with 1970's style plastic flowers in the hanging baskets, you enter and its dark the room was all dark wood and bland colouring i wanted parking which they had at an extra cost per day this was not in the blurb was it worth the nearly 400 quid plus another 15 quid for parking for the 2 night stay considering its about a 20 min walk in to Edinburgh nope it was not

This just about a 3 star hotel. The staff were good and friendly but the building is old and tired and as such there is quite a long list of things that need significant improvement. The most frustrating feature was the very low water pressure which made showering a poor experience and toilets when flushed took forever to work again. The towels were quite small and no floor mat was supplied so the whole showering experience was frustrating.

This is pretty basic budget accommodation. It has seen better days. It's a bit of a hike to get up over the hill to where the restaurants and businesses are. The parking worked out well although not included in the price. No issues with reception or billing. It does the job you just don't get that special feeling you get when you walk into the lobby of a nicer hotel.
