The room was really comfortable, the wifi worked excellent and the location was perfect because it was close to the old and new town but far enough to get some rest. The staff of the hotel was the best thing, they were always kind with us and they gave us an excellent service!

Sadly, I don't recommend

Myself and 2 friends stayed here for 3 nights and we, sadly, had problems the entire time. We walked into the room and it smelled of water damage and mold, while the floors had so many squishy floor spots, it was like playing "the floor is lava" as a kid. We went to take a shower and the water was either skin-burning hot, or ice-cold. It alternated between the two and didn't stay one temperature for a whole minute. The wi-fi did not reach our room the entire stay, and when we spoke to the front desk about it, they reset the router, but that did not fix the problem. They looked at the shower the 2nd night and got it to stay lukewarm, but the smell never left. They suggested they would try to move us rooms the next night, but they never did. I was excited because this looked like a nice hotel, but it was a major disappointment and no one in my party was happy with it. We had better accommodations in the private room at the Hostel we stayed in at the beginning of our trip. The location was about a 30-minute walk from the main downtown Edinburgh streets, and we were expecting that but not the rest of the issues we had.

Uncomfortable.

The staff was nice and the room was as clean as it could be. The beds were old and very uncomfortable. The linens were all stained including every pillow we could find. The pillows were not comfortable either. The bathroom was clean and had been updated however we had no control over the light as it was on a motion sensor. Once activated the light and fan came on at the same time and stayed on for 20-30 minutes before turning off. So when someone got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom the light and fan stayed on. The restaurant also was not open while we were there.

We actually left a day early because the room was so disgusting. The bed sheets were dirty and gave me a rash on my leg. We had a spider in the room the size of my palm and got no sleep because we felt like something was crawling on us. There was no hot water so we took cold showers. There were marks and scrapes all over the wall nothing looked taken care of in there. For the money I’ve never stayed in a hotel that bad. The staff was very nice though.

Do not recommend

Booked for a work meeting and it was horrifically overpriced because of the fringe festival. The room was small, advertised to have a double bed but it was barely a large single. The mattress also had a dip where it has been laid on that was unavoidable. The room was unclean and my room in particular (room 1) has what seems to be all the drains running through it so any time water was flowing you were well aware of it.
