The check in was pretty easy but the staff could have been more friendlier. All the expectations in the room were good but I wish there was a microwave at least downstairs for us to use. Room service was good.

Staff at the reception is not very welcoming. Was very harsh with us. Our first visit to Scotland and our stay was a very bad experience. Only once in 4 days of stay the housekeeping person came to clean and did not change the sheets on the bed at all. Very bad experience.

Great bass for exploring Edinburgh

Stayed here as the first stop, for 3 nights, on our 12 night Outlander trip around Scotland. Room was very comfortable but a bit dated. Perfect as a base to explore Edinburgh though. Mall a short walk away for any essentials and buses stops right outside. Lost a few ratings stars as the traffic noise is very loud. Luckily we travel with ear plugs. Too: Request a room at the back of the hotel if you’re a light sleeper.

Run down hotel, bathroom was not clean. Cramped bedroom with very little space. Not at all worth for the proce you pay (£170+ for a night).Not recommended.

Not for people that can't handle stairs. Doors are locked before 3 pm so if you land early you're screwed. The room was cleanish but I found hair from other people in the bathroom so I think they clean quickly.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were greeted as an inconvenience to the staff that we’d dared checked in. The bed was comfortable and clean enough so if you’re staying for one night and need somewhere this might do but the room wasn’t particularly clean and the bathroom had mould all over ceiling and floor surrounding the toilet. It had the worst shower I’ve had in British hotels with a trickle of water you couldn’t even stand under it as the shower head holder was fixed in place. We didn’t even bother with it the second morning and checked out feeling a bit grimy to travel back home.

not worth the money

Couldn't check in until 3pm and check out at 10am. Also they charfe dor leaving bags temporarily which is a rip off given the price you have to pay. The bathroom was noy as clean and shower wall is rusting. Also the room we had was not very sound proof and couldnt sleep as could hear people slamming doors and also could hear noise from cars and the street.

Genuinely the worst experience I have had at a hotel. I haven’t felt so uncomfortable in my life in another accommodation. The person at the main reception had no respect and an attitude problem from the moment we walked in. When we got to the room, there was an unknown red substance on the wall, hair in the bed and on a freezing cold night in Scotland, no working radiator. I made them aware of this issue, they provided me a small heater. I advised I couldn’t leave it on all night and the response I got was an abrupt ‘sorry about that’ as he walked out the room. I was expecting at the very least a sincere apology and a room change but this was never offered and just assumed we would be happy with a tiny heater. As my partner and I were VERY uncomfortable and couldn’t stay in a room without a working radiator, we made the decision to go home a night early. When I handed the keys back, the attitude we got from the owner and disgusted look was horrible. I let him know I was uncomfortable and unhappy and that Expedia have contacted him to resolve this multiple times but he refused their calls. If you ever come to Edinburgh, never even think about this hotel. The worst one I have ever been to. Save your money or spend on a better place. It’s worth it.

I like the surrounding of tranquility but recycle bin is at the reception area & not near to accomodation. So, we need to drive there to clear the recycle bag & put it back to accomodation isn't an easy option as we stay there for 3 nights.

Convenient transpiration into the city center, but don’t count on any amount of hospitality. The commitment to no early check ins goes as far as to just have the door to the hotel locked until 3, even when someone is sitting at the desk in front of you. There was a partial roll of toilet paper in our room and it took us over 24 hours to find someone to get more. No one services the desk, there’s a sign indicating to ring the bell if you need anything, but no bell exists. It’s a place to sleep, nothing more.
