Basic but clean and friendly staff
We booked this hotel as it was roughly cheapest for one night stay in Edinburgh. Its a 45 min walk into Edinburgh or 10 mins in taxi. Taxi cost us about £10. The room was badic but clean. Shower was powerful and enough clean towels for the 2 of us. There was a freeview tv. Kettle tea and coffee. We had a couple of drinks in bar before heading out. Staff were lovely.

There was mold on the bath mat, around the soap dispenser and on the tiles around the bath in all three rooms. This was off-putting for the young people we had booked the room for

The outside of the building was not inviting and more signs to confirm you are heading in the right direction would be beneficial. The restaurant was not inviting very open, cafeteria environment. Not welcoming for a late night drink. The room, whilst clean, was very old fashioned, beds looked like they were from the 60s. Mattress dipping in the middle. Only 1 pillow per bed. No extra blankets in case you got cold. Window looking out to river was lovely but window is in desperate need of a clean on the outside. Bathroom was mouldy, mould on the ceiling and black grout in-between tiles. No toilet brush. Very noisy, with peoples room doors slamming, some door closers on these would be beneficial. Also a larger tv would be better. Better quality of tea and coffee would be nice.

Cost effective to visit Edinburgh
It was fine just to sleep, the room could do with sockets by the bed, windows be cleaned, the kettle was rusty. The shower could do with a squiggy broom to clear the water as it gets sprayed everywhere.

Over priced hostel not a hotel.
This hotel should now be reclassified as a hostel and a very poor over priced one at that. No housekeeping service unless we stayed longer than 4 days! The beds remained unmaid, room not cleaned daily and toilet left uncleaned. The room was made up of unmatched furniture and the bed mattresses were like sleeping on a bag of rocks.

never again
The place advertises an old façade and yet it's a cruddy new build. The rooms felt shabby and post Soviet. The shower was terrible. It's also not near a single thing. Even though the listing says it's downtown. Not a store, not a bar, not a restaurant, nothing. But the big piece is that they actually have no Wi-Fi in the rooms? I mean, it's 2024. Give me a break. The place was dismal and I'll never go there again and I'm angry that hotels.com lets things advertise the way they do.

Think Fawlty Towers but without Basil…!
Dated, run down and just unpleasant. Room was not serviced at all in the four nights we stayed, hot water was turned off for maintenance in the morning, surely this should be done overnight when guests are sleeping. Fire alarm went off, staff did not know what to do, fire exit almost blocked by two large skips. Extraction fan stuffed full of toilet paper, iron leaked and did not have a current PAT certificate as did the kettle. Saturday morning early deliver right under window, surely use the delivery bay. Room smells of damp. Bath not cleaned, slip mat was full of hair, mould in shower curtain and on tile grout, two small bottles of shower gel for two adults for four nights and when I say small I mean small. Bed very uncomfortable. Hotel needs a complete refurbishment. On check out day our door was knocked twice before our official leaving time to see if we had gone. Would we stay here again - hell no!
Extraction fan filled with toilet tissue.

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.

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.

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.
