Good clean hotel, good location

Good clean hotel, good location in centre of edinburgh. Wi-fi good. A little noisy, but that didn't spoil my stay. I would book this hotel again for an inexpensive city centre stay.

Don't expect a good night's sleep

I only chose this hotel as I was looking something cheap in the city centre - and it was only cheap through a third party. I wouldn't pay full price for this hotel. Positives: Friendly night porter, can stay out as late as you want, comfortable matress, power shower. Staff leave you alone. Room is decent enough size. Negatives: Might as well not have curtains up as they let in so much light in the morning. A lot of noise in the morning from cleaners/people moving around. Very uncomfortable pillows. Bathroom is newly refurbished however stinks of mould after you use the shower. Carpet was filthy and ancient. Hotel does not have it's own restaurant, rather there is an Indian restaurant using the basement. Does not have a cocktail bar as advertised in reception. Walls are so thin that if your neighbour is watching TV you will be tortured.

Great tourist hotel!

Staff was great, and the room was very clean and in good order. It is in a great neighborhood that is a short walk away from the royal mile and other touristy locations. I'll definitely be using this hotel when I go back. The restaurant was so-so. Breakfast, as with many hotels, was less than expected but a fair price.

I found this hotel to offer good

I found this hotel to offer good value for money in a great location only 10 mins walk from Princes Street. Exactly what you would expect for the price. I wouldn't bother with breakfast as it's usually not included and isn't worth paying for.
