Comfortable place to stay. No food available at the moment due to refurbishment. The price was good for Edinburgh. A quiet night. Easy to get in and out as I arrived back late. The shower in my room wasn't great. Probably due for redecorating.

My two friends and I had a lovely stay here. There were comfortable beds and the room had everything we needed. However the bathroom door had no lock which would have been nice.

The room was fine, the bathroom a little small and loud, but other than that it was alright. Getting to the room with all the baggage on the other hand wasn't so easy, but that's a standard experience in Great Britain, small, narrow staircases and no elevators. Overall, it was clean and quiet, which was the most important thing.

More basic than I expected from the website. Nice and clean and well kept with tea and coffee in the room. However scruffy in places, torn wallpaper on wall beside bed, no plug in sink, no non slip mat in shower and the door was broken. No conditioner, or rack in shower so everything was underfoot. TV remote would not turn off the tv which was surrounded by wires hanging down. Bannisters need repainting. If you basic it is perfect then it's perfect if you want a bit more up market not so much.

Service was pathetic. Noone to greet us. Communication over a crackly intercom. Noone to ask anything. No parking out front as indicated because they were renovating (place was covered in scaffolding and dust) but no communication to this effect. Chipped paint and grubby doors. Grubbiest place we have stayed in UK. And one of the most expensive. 40 mins walk to the castle. Not recommended. I would not stay here again. 😒
