The single room was adequate for my needs, I had travelled up from south England to pick up a daughter from uni and stayed 2 nights.
Pluses: comfortable bed and decent shower (despite it seeming to only have one setting: hot) - which is all you need really. Nice location. I like walking so was happy to walk the 25 mins to daughter’s place / 50 mins into the centre and back. Very easy - basically one road.
Negatives: my room was at the front so quite noisy and noises from either side of me sounded like an extremely old cistern or pipes every time someone had a shower or went to the loo.

The room (sleeping 3) was clean and spacious. It faces the back, so it was quiet despite major road and traffic going by the front of the building. Convenient location: Shopping center with Aldi is in 10-minute walking distance, and bus stop with connection to the city center right in front of the hotel. (You don't need a car in the city of Edinburgh). Staff wasn't overly friendly. The gentleman working at the reception disappeared when he saw my heavy suitcase...So did housekeeping upon check-out. Please provide lock boxes in the rooms and some shelves in the bathroom. Overall, my stay was pleasant and served my needs. I would stay there again (with less luggage...;))

No hot water for a shower in the morning, barely luke warm.
Transit stops right outside the front were very convenient.

The bus stop to downtown located directly outside of the hotel needs to be emphasized more. It made this hotel extremely convenient!

The building needs to be renovated from the inside, it felt and looked very old. Our room was next to the steps and it was noisy and there was were weird stains on the bathroom wall and we couldn't close the window because there was a weird smell. One good thing was there was free parking

Freezing cold (heating turned off)
Noisy staff though out the early hours
Staff burning cardboard boxers in carpark
Felt the unsafe
Out of 25yrs working away from home this place has to be the second worst place I’ve stayed !
