The location of this property is very convenient, especially for exploring the Royal Mile. However, it’s extremely loud if you stay here over the weekend — even with earbuds, the noise can be hard to ignore. The staff who checked us in were great and even let us check in early, which was much appreciated. Unfortunately, the early morning checkout staff didn’t seem to care much; he appeared more interested in his computer than helping us. The room itself was okay but had some odd design choices. The bathroom is a small “pod-style” unit with a shower and toilet, and the water never got hot. The electrical outlets are awkwardly placed, so they provide an extension cord to make up for it. Overall, it’s convenient but noisy, with a few too many inconveniences for the price. There are definitely better options nearby, in my opinion.

The staff went above and beyond helping bring the large amount of luggage to the room when key system was down. They waked us to the room helping with the luggage. Room setup is odd, bathroom is tiny and had signs of neglect rust on door, mold in shower. The twin beds were so close they were basically touching not ideal for separation. The location was key, did not use breakfast or bar both looked nice though.

Very outdated, but clean, front desk staff was nice. Great location. Bar in hotel was nice. No fridge or microwave, no plug in outlet by the beds. I wouldn't stay again for how outdated the hotel is, and no plug in by the bed is very inconvenient. I would rather pay more for a nicer place next time.

Room was clean, but very outdated. No outlet on either side of the bed. The cleaning staff would leave a vacuum in the hallway every day, in a random spot, once right outside my door, and the Rombas just drifted throughout the hallway, and the carpets were still always a little bit dirty. Our room smelled like a dirty toilet slightly, esp the bathroom the first couple days, not sure why. The location is very good, so close to so many things. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Their bar was nice and gave us ice or salt and pepper when we needed. Unfortunatley no fridge or microwave in room. Overall place was clean, just very old and outdated, I wouldn't stay again just for that reason.

It was just ok

It was a decent hotel for what we paid. The lack of phones in the room meant you had to go downstairs to reception for everything. There was no iron in the room, and very little space to put your clothes. That was inconvenient. Again, it wasn’t too bad but I don’t think I will stay there again.

Well there’s some up and down. The staff was great and polite beautiful and very helpful. If you get there early they will help taking you luggage and keeping it safe till your check in. Your key card works with your floor. The property is well centralized and everything is close by. Restaurant in the hotel is great and convenient good food and music. The downside No refrigerator, microwave or ice in the floor you are in you can get it in the restaurant but not in your floor

Very close to royal mile and princes street and all the attractions and pubs in the area. Bus stop very close to the hotel and train station within walking distance. Staff very helpful and friendly. As its on the busy south bridge it can be a bit noisy at night but thats not surprising given the location. Room was clean but just had to remember to step up to the bathroom which was unusual but thats not a deal breaker. Would stay there again.
