Central location. Clean. Great staff. Nice creative vibe in the hotel. Complimentary hot beverages in lobby which was nice. Musty smell in the bathroom and no hot water…only lukewarm . ( Asked staff and he said he was not a plumber so not sure anything could be done)

Perfect location. Clean rooms and nice bedding. Room was very small but met my needs. However, the maze of the hallways and up and down stairs (no elevator) was insane. Had I known, I would have booked a room on the first floor. I was very thankful the staff helped with luggage and navigating the maze to my room. The rates were very expensive for what it was. But I’m realizing hotel rates in Edinburgh are high.

Unfortunately, I was assigned to Room 310 because all the rooms before Room 310 would have elevators! I need to walk many turns and climb many stairs to reach my room！ In addition , I'm also very dissatisfied with the toilet! It takes a long time to get hot water when taking a shower! The structure of the faucet and sink in the hand-washing area ensures that water splashes all over the floor every time you use water

I stay here every time I'm in Edinburgh. It's a quirky fun hotel, the rooms are tiny, and getting to the rooms is sometimes like being in a maze. It's a very cool little place right in the heart of old town, walkable to everything.
