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.

Rooms were decent size at a good price (wifey purchased thru discounter). Fairly scenic beside the Waters of Leith creek, with parks and a National Gallery nearby, with sculptures in a park. Breakfast buffet wasn't good value. Just 0.5 mi walk past elegant stone buildings to Haymarket which has regular buses and trams to many sites, every 5 min. Just tap your credit card to ride.

We got a far better room than we were expecting! For the price we payed, which was extremely cheap, we were not expecting such a high class room. The view from the window (first floor) - phenomenal! To go to bed every night and hear the nearby stream was amazing! Also, the room was spacious. The service was incredible! Fatima was very informative and told us about nearby bus stops upon other things to do. Fiona ensured our stay was pleasant before leaving. David held a pleasant conversation with us during one of the nights and ensured we were happy with our drinks. The bus stop is directly across from the hotel (13) and so offers the option between walking or catching the bus. It sits nicely between Dean's Village and the Centre. Also, for an exploration holiday, it was perfect, as I and my partner preferred to walk than catch the bus. So all in all, it has a lot to offer!!

Stayed here for one night and absolutely shocking. Started off by going into reception asking about their car park got told she wasn’t sure if the bottom part of the car park was part of the hotel, so got told we could park in front of reception even though the car park was full. She then said you can try the underneath parking but I don’t know where it is, this lead us to finding it on our own. May we say it is very cramped with big pillars in the way and parking was not laid out the best. Got up to the room it was late at night so by this time we just wanted our beds. Went into the bathroom to find the bathtub had yellow stains all over it and strands of hair in it. There was a white sticker on the bottom of the bath tub which had gone yellow like someone had peed in the bathtub, to then finding a spider crawling on the bathroom floor. The window was open before we had even got into the room and it was very difficult to get it shut as it just kept opening but we had to get it closed as there was a child sleeping next to the window. Went into the double bed to find there was blood stains on the sheet and the mattress cover didn’t even fit the whole bed. Tea and coffee station in the room had everything but the cups. Very disappointed to say the least and most very likely will not be back at all!!!!

To start with we checked in and we both felt like the Receptionist was rude in how she came across speaking to us. We then got to our room where we found that the carpet seemed very dirty. The desk had one broken draw, the beds didn't seem fully clean and we only had two hand towels. Luckily housekeeping did come hours later with some proper towels. The bed was uncomfortable, it felt like springs were just jabbing me in the back all night, found it hard to sleep. For some reason I decided to check a draw on the desk just before we left I found a bottle that must've been left by a previous guest, it had some form of yellow liquid in it which I would hope wasn't urine.... I really should have taken a photo but I was in a rush to just get out of there. When I checked out the same receptionist only said okay when I said I wanted to check out - didn't say all sorted your good to go or asked how the stay was, which was a bit confusing as we had to then ask if we were actually checked out or not. I've stayed in hotels across the UK, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, France, Egypt, America and Toronto and this was by far the worst. Don't take the reviews with a pinch of salt - I did and found out the hard way with this one....
