Too expensive

Service was not so good as we expect. Value for money doesn’t work at all. We were disappointed about cleaning service, they forgot to make the room. we came back to the room after 10pm and it was impossible to ask them to clean the room. The location is moderate, around 30 min to the city Center, however it is close to Dean village.

GRIM

The hotel was very busy due to an event in the city. Our room was small, sparsely furnished and not overly clean. The bed was small. The bed linen and towels were clean. The curtain did not cover the window so had we not been awoken by bins being emptied early in the morning, the sunlight would have done it. There were stains on the bedroom walls, the lift resembled a cell block, complete with scratched in graffiti. The toilet only flushed if you turned the handle nearly 360 degrees. Despite check out being at 10am, a housekeeper entered our room at 9.30am and was surprised to see me getting ready. After overhearing the receptionist saying the hotel was full, there was no point complaining, as we had an event to attend and were on a tight schedule. We paid over £300 for the displeasure of staying here - as an event was happening nearby. If you enjoy a nice stay in a hotel, consider going elsewhere.

The hotel is due for a remodel, and is showing its age, but don't let that discourage you. The staff were great, and were always friendly, warm and welcoming. The room we had was fairly spacious and clean. The morning buffet didn't serve any surprises, but the food was decent, affordable and filled us up. Would stay again.

£380 one night total rip off

Can’t believe we paid £380 for a one night stay here no breakfast included. Room was small only two sockets in the room to use Walls paper thin so got no sleep Typical example of ripping people off because there was a gig on We stayed in Cardiff two weeks previously and the room was immaculate compared to this and only £120 including breakfast and yes there was a gig in Cardiff but we did not get robbed Would never stay here again

Uncomfortable beds, very basic

No access to rooms early. Came in off a red eye and requested early access to room if available. No response from hotel on email. Was able to check in bags to a secured room and comeback at 3pm First room was a double bed (booked 2 singles) Second room was given but beds were like sleeping on a box spring. Very uncomfortable and worn Happy to leave after 2 nights and find better accommodation for the same price Would not stay there or recommend to anyone 30min walk to downtown Edinburgh

We were on the top floor facing the reception area, the window didnt close properly and the was a constant loud noise (possibly something like an air conditioning unit). The curtains weren't fit for purpose as the walls sloped in. The shower wasn't very powerful. To me it felt like the reception area had been modernised but as soon as you walked through the door the accommodation that had been forgotten about, the lifts were tatty on missing buttons amd the rooms were poorly finished off.

Does the job ,but no frills

This is a basic hotel, clean and tidy. OK for a couple of nights. No food options other than breakfast which we didn't have so can't comment on that. The room was spacious and clean but no frills, ie no towel rails,toilet roll holder or wardrobe. Beds were very comfy however. This place is a bit out of the way but in a nice area about 15mins walk to the tram stop to get into the centre.
