Located within walking distance to downtown and transit this accommodation was spacious, clean, well appointed and affordable. We stayed several days and were well pleased with it.

Room was ok a little small and at the back so not very light but still a decent room. I had read the reviews prior to booking and I got what I expected a decent room for good value (for Edinburgh), no breakfast and no daily room service. Thats was all fine.
I know the city well and the area is actually great if you know it Valvona and Crolla round the corner and superb pubs and restaurants.

I stayed here with my partner for four nights. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't really that great, either. Maybe this would be ok if you're young, used to hostels and are looking for something a bit better. Overall, I definitely would not stay here again.

PROS:
-They include a little book detailing attractions, restaurants, etc. in Edinburgh.
-Satellite TV
-Wireless Internet (though the connectivity in our room was very poor and quite slow)
-It was one of the cheaper places, I think we paid around $100 USD a night
-If you like hikes, you definitely get one into the city center every day!
-There's an adorable little Italian grocery/bakery just up the block-- we had fantastic baked goods for breakfast there!
-It was very quiet, during both the day and night. We had no noise issues.
-There are many restaurants a short walk away (uphill-- don't bother going downhill in the other direction, there's nothing there.)
-En suite bathroom
-Armoire to hang clothes
-Radiator worked very well

CONS:
-The place is sort of near the town center (about a mile) but it's ALL UPHILL getting there. If you're looking to spend time on High Street or Princes Street, you'll need to hike 15-20 minutes up a pretty significant hill to get there. There is a bus stop right outside, but those can get pricey.
-The towels were very small and VERY rough! Drying my face made me cringe, as the fabric was not soft at all.
-My biggest complaint: the entry way smelled TERRIBLE! Every time we entered the building, it smelled like beans and disinfectant; I had to hold my breath! Thankfully, the smell didn't extend to our bedroom.
-The bed was not comfortable. The pillows and blanket were lumpy and I found it difficult to sleep.
-The shower was tiny. I am 5'2" tall and not very large, and I kept banging my elbows against the shower doors when I tried to wash my hair.
-While there was wireless internet available, it was extremely slow (don't expect to be able to upload photos to the web) and unsecured (no password...not safe!). The connectivity in our room was very low.
-The room we stayed in was very dark, with little natural light. See that photo where the window faces a wall? That was the room we stayed in. We couldn't even tell whether it was raining outside. The room was also kind of musty, and had a bit of an oppressive feel to it.
-If you're looking for it, there's no laundry.
-There were several (not an infestation or anything, I think I encountered 3 or 4) strange little brown flying moth-like bugs in the room. One of them got in my bag and hitched a ride to the next town with me!
-The owner turned me off. When we got in, he opened the door, confirmed who I was and then his next question was "How will you be paying for this, cash or card?" Now, I don't mind paying up front (I can't remember whether this was stated ahead of time on the reservation), but I felt that was pretty rude. He could have at least asked how our trip was or something before he started looking for money!

We stayed there for one night but got moved to a sister guest house called Windsor House. The room is spacious, clean, and simple. The bathroom is pretty small but got all u need like shampoo & body wash gel. The small coffee corner in the room is also a plus. There are quite a few coffee shops around the corner so it is quite easy to grab a breakfast. Very easy to check-in and check-out - in conclusion good value for money :-)
