We loved this hotel! Perfect place to stay for couple of days. Was very clean and very easy to find. Couple min walk from any kind of transport. So many cafes and nice local pubs and restaurants around. Would definitely recommend.

Ideally placed on the tram link from.airport but still walkable up to the port and into the city. Lots of dining options on Leith road. Room was just as needed for a 2 night stop over to explore the area.

The front desk lady was so nice! She expedited my room so I can check in early. It was a good stay, quiet, and public transport was close by.

Parand

We booked this place for our one night stay in Edinburgh. As the storm made disruptions to the trains and buses we were unable to travel to Edinburgh and the hotel was so unhelpful in this process and didn’t accommodate change of date or a refund. It’s shameful to have zero understanding of natural disasters and treat them like normal situations. Will not recommend this place at all

This location and hotel were perfect for my short stay as a solo traveler. The bathroom was clean, the staff was the absolute best, they had delicious cookies in the room and candy at reception. The women at the reception were knowledgeable, sweet, caring and helpful. I would definitely come back here if I'm in Edinburgh. The location is walkable; you can walk to the closest tram/bus stations and have tons of shopping and dining options you could walk to and make the most out of your time in Edinburgh.

I liked the access code system for getting into your room, very good for flexibility. Nice room and very clean. However, I found the staff difficult to contact & the mattress was like a hammock, needs replacing.

Our stay for a night was ok but it's not the worth of money you spend for a night. We could have got more in this budget. Like free parking and breakfast.

They didn’t mention on the website that there’s no window. The room was like prison cell. There’s no one at night to help,The wifi doesn’t work at all.going off and on.Better to stay a bit expensive but with facilities.we didn’t enjoy at all to be honest.

The location is great. However, Room 4 is very small and the bed is old and sags in the middle, so very uncomfortable.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
No WiFi on the first day. The room was tiny and the bed was less comfortable than a couch. The staff was nice although not always available and they sometimes chatted loudly in the hallways. The walls are thin and you can hear everyone’s footsteps. Considering the price, I would stay elsewhere.

Parking has been nightmare, i guess i didn't see any reviews on it. Had to park in a multistorey and get a cab over. Not great having a open floir shower. Overall, paid four star prices for a 2 hotel.
