The location, car park and building exterior are good...Everything else was bad. The sheets were dirty, the walls are paper thin so whenever some1 above moves you hear it all the time. Wont ever stay there and at the price point there are much better places... booked it after seeing the reviews and couldnt have been sorrier

We booked a family room, it big and spacious and we like the design of the room. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and tidy. The toilet was spacious too. But the Wifi had to be connected from the lobby. The location is great and breakfast was delicious. But insufficient parking space and had to park at... More

We stayed here for two nights. The room was a bit old fashioned, but nice enough and very clean. The furniture was a bit rickety but comfortable. We had a last minute deal and found the hotel to represent good value for money. The breakfast was lovely and included in the price of the room. The hotel is well located... More

Stayed here for one night this last weekend. The location was great for the city centre, we parked our car in the hotels free car park and got a bus from outside the hotel which took a few minutes into princes street. As a couple, we ended up with the room for 5 (room 7) as our originally intended room... More

Stayed one night in Feb 2013. Room was clean and the beds were comfortable, although due to the size of the room and being in Scotland in Feb, it was cold and could have done with bigger radiator on the wall. Excellent location. Room had a TV and breakfast was hot and tasty. Staff friendly,helpful and accommodating, excellent stay for... More

Rooms were appalling. Breakfast was also rank..... very very rude manager. It was £160 a night! we had given credit card details so they would have charged... More

This hotel is well located for going into town, catching buses, train or going to the airport or Murrayfield. It offers parking which in Edinburgh is a luxury, that been said, is limited and you need to maneuvre very well. Its a budget hotel, so dont expect it to be top notch, albeit is clean, well decorated (traditional) and has... More

Stayed for a long weekend. I won't say its the best, but for a 3 star at these prices it makes a long weekend affordable in what is a great city. It is close enough to the centre and attractions and the staff were most friendly and welcoming, especially George :). A 20 minute walk gets you either into the... More
