This hotel is safe and very nice. Price is affordable and worth. Bus stop is nearby. Dinning room was supported and huge. I would give this hotel 5 stars.

The location is central to all the tourist sites. The employees are friendly. The hotel is clean. The main problem is insufficient water pressure in the shower.

The staff was responsive and friendly. Overall the stay was nice, the only thing that made me not give them 5/5 is that we booked a triple room, upon arriving to the room only 2 bath towels where found, and even tho we asked for an extra towel through Expedia chat nobody provided it. Bear in mind with this and bring your towels from home but after all, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for hosting us :)

The room was clean, lovely and warm and had everything we needed. Cleaned daily with water, tea, coffee and biscuits replenished daily. Easy self check in and out. Great location, 2 minute walk from lots of shops, pubs and restaurants.

Nice location, tram to the train station and airport a few minutes away, and if you like walking old town is 20 min away. The room is nice, nothing fancy, but it was clean and had decent amenities

It was a nice stay there. Room and washroom was clean. But it was quite small room for 3 people. Just one cupboard given for 3 persons.

This was basically a Hostel. No reception, shared bathroom, no working tv, broken furniture, and inadequate check-in instructions. As a last minute booking on my part, I won’t go too hard, but would not book again.

Shared bathroom with the staff which lived on the premises. A lot of noice from the staff. Their "reception" was right outside our bedroom. The room was not clean and the bed was horrible. This was a total waste of money.

We booked a triple room which was very small but it was clean and comfortable. Our main issue was the 3pm check in. We were early arriving at 2:30 hoping the room might have been available. It wasn't so came back at 3:30 still wasn't quite ready. On a city break and only visiting for one night the last thing you want is to be kept hanging around waiting to dump your bag. Could have been better organised.

Disappointing - Had a room with a double and single bed but was by myself so not good value for one person. Bathroom was shared with other guests and pretty busy, shower was not very clean and bracket was broken. Room was small, fairly clean but needing redecorated (peeling paper, ill-fitting electrical socket) and couldn't get the TV to work (don't think the channels had been programmed in).

Edinburgh is a stunning and stormy city. I had a difficult time finding something in the city center so I was very pleased with the location. It is convenient for the trains and buses. We stayed in a room which was very hot when the sun was out and very cold when it rained. We shared one dirty bathroom with 3 rooms and some one had bad aim while tinkling. The first floor was stunning and since the sign said bed and breakfast and breakfast buffet available I was excited about some Scottish breakfast in the morning. Three other families said they chose the place for the breakfast included option. Initially the worker said he’d give a refund and then he decided to quarrel with everyone and say they didn’t have a chef. To climb stairs with luggage, unite sprinkles on the toilet and floor and no customer service made me uncomfortable and not worth the price. I imagine that he’ll omit this review.

Mucho peor estado de lo que parece en la web. No tenían servicio de cocina porque estaban renovándola, pero no nos advirtieron en las distintas comunicaciones que tuvimos antes de ir. La limpieza dejaba que desear, el techo del baño tenía moho. Situado a unos 20 minutos en bus del centro, el barrio era agradable, eso lo único que se salvaba
