Basic and No Frills

Definitely a no frills stay. Located about 25 minutes (on foot) from the train station. They let us check in 15 min early. We asked for a cab at 4:30am they told us they would call one and ended up not doing that. There was no direction on what to do with the keys, so we left them in the room. The rooms were clean, but super small. I feel like I would have benefited from staying a little closer to the action. The price was pretty good and there are some places to eat near by, but it was a meh experience.

This guest house is basic but well priced for Edinburgh and not far from the train / bus station. It is off Leith Walk and about 20 minutes walk from the main train station.

The property was good and cheap. Safe. Quiet. Support staff on site. Only drawback is heater was not working and was provided with a noisy fan heater. Not a great option when you have an active toddler.

Dirty, run-down, uncomfortable

This place is just awful. It's one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in, anywhere. The room I was given was much smaller than the room illustrated on the Hotels.com website. The room was cramped, dirty, and poorly maintained. The television was broken. I complained about that and was told it had been fully fixed. In reality, no-one had even looked at it. The bed was uncomfortable - a cheap mattress laid over planks. The room was noisy, next to the kitchen and there was a horrible noise coming from the pipes every time the people in the room above flushed the toilet. I could go on, but I've said enough. This place really is just awful and I strongly recommend that you avoid it at all costs.
