Noisy but great location

This hotel is in a good location within central Edinburgh if you’re looking to check off the typical Edinburgh bucket list items. You can walk very easily or grab a bus anywhere, and Waverly station is only a 10 minute walk. As others have mentioned, it can be quite noisy at night as the hotel sits right above a very popular pub. I was in an interior room on the third floor, and I could still hear bass music and shouting at night, even with earplugs in. I could also hear clear conversations from the people staying next to me in the hotel - I could make out almost every word, which is just something to be aware of. I did have trouble sleeping a couple of nights because of these things, and I imagine it would be worse in the Summer season. When I arrived, the top of the fridge was sticky and the windowsill was a bit dirty, but overall there were no major cleanliness issues. The double bed was very lumpy with a ridge in the middle, which was a bit annoying. I was upgraded to a double from the cozy room, which was great size-wise. It was fine for me as a Solo traveler and I think I would have been happy with the cozy room as well. All in all, probably better to stay here if you’re looking to enjoy the Edinburgh night life as a younger traveler. The staff were lovely though and I appreciated the great location.
