To our surprise, the hotel turned out to be quite pleasant( as some bad reviews had worried us).It was in a nice location, not far from the city center. The room was spacious and came with a private bathroom. It had all the basic amenities we needed like clean towels, toiletries, a coffee bar, iron and ironing board, heater, AC, fan, fridge, TV, hair dryer, hangers, and a comfortable twin bed. We had booked a room without a window, but it did have a medium sized ventilation skylight ,which let in some natural light. The hotel also featured a large TV lounge where guests could relax, and there were eating facilities available. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

When you read other reviews and see pictures... Yikes!! But I didn't have this experience. I think it's pretty great. The staff is super nice. Got a great, clean and no moldy room. Just a nice room, great for attending a conference. Would recommend.

A good sized, clean bedroom. The bathroom was clean & had lovely thick towels. It isn't a power shower, but perfectly adequate. Tea/coffee making facilities & lovely shortbread biscuits. There was a good choice of starters, mains & desserts for the evening meal. It was self-service & the food was hot and tasty. The bed & pillows were clean & comfortable. There was also a fan provided. There was a good choice of hot & cold food at breakfast. It was well-organised with one member of staff constantly checking & topping up food, whilst the other was checking people in & clearing the tables. I would definitely stay again due to my experience & the hotel's location close to the centre of Edinburgh. This is certainly a five star hotel, albeit not a 'luxury' hotel.

Handy location. Convenient for galleries, cafés and shops, walking distance to Princes Street Gardens. Staff were helpful and room was large and comfortable. Room had hospitality tray, kettle, coffee machine, fan, fridge, hairdryer, tv, towels and toiletries, iron and ironing board. Everything one would require. Comfy bed. Quiet room. Lift to floors. Vegetarian options available at buffet style meals. Not all the food was always hot, the Yorkshire puds were lovely but cold. The first two nights the soup was a meat option, so no good if you're a vegetarian. Other than that, yes, I would stay here again as no causes for concern.

This was not a hotel stay, it was a nightmare. I was on a business trip in Scotland and my company booked four nights here. They placed us in basement rooms that were very uncomfortable, with no windows. Even the floors creaked loudly with every step. Fatma, the front desk manager, did her best to move us to another room the next day, and I truly appreciate her effort. However, the overall condition of the rooms was unacceptable. They were not clean, the bathrooms had blocked drainage, and there was no room service during the entire stay. The worst part of the experience was the receptionist/barman, “Tyelar” (a guy with piercings). He was extremely rude, unprofessional, and unhelpful. I usually understand the pressure hotel staff are under, but his behavior was beyond excusable. This place needs a full renovation before it can even be called a hotel. I would not recommend it, even at a low price.
