The room was quaint and modern. Very spacious room. I did have a difficult time finding the place since I’ve never been to Scotland before though, and the parking was challenging as parking is very limited.

Stay for the location - just over a walkable mile to the Royal mile - but not necessarily for a good night sleep on a busy road with poorly insulted windows and inadequate window covering to darken the room

Was a good stay. It’s a 30 minute walk into city center and has great cafes in walking distance. There isn’t a restaurant at the location, but again a good choice of cafes near.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Clean but no personal touch at all - only difficult communications through an intercom when we had questions and difficulty entering the building. Clean and reasonably safe and quiet, but NO space to set anything down or hang anything up. Plus, their listing said they have a restaurant: they used to offer breakfast but don't any more which presented problems for our family.

It was very nice, but for some reason room always hot- the floor was warm sometimes and we had to open the window/door to let some cooler air in. Could have used an extra couple pillows or thicker ones.

On a bus route - but about a 10min ride into town - so that’s a down side - £11 taxi each way or £2 bus each time you want to go to town. Place itself is fairly clean and our room was clean and tidy with lovely white sheets and towels. Our room was not en-suite - but had a private bathroom with a key just for us, so was fine.

I booked this hotel for a 3 night stay and I had to ask for a refund and find lodging last minute as the conditions pf this property where very unsafe to stay in. The hotel itself at a glance outside will show you that the hotel hasn’t had a proper update since the late 90s. Balcony outside crumbling, half of the railing missing. Broken glass covered over with plastic. Thorn fitted carpet mended with duct tape. Surfaces covered in years of neglect. The hallways smell, the room is dark and has florescent bulb fixture. The bathroom is like a long corridor ( small that you cannot open your arms on the sides fully) with the toilet on one end and a shower on another with mold creeping on every nook and cranny of it. And the corners with years and years of improper cleaning. I was traveling with my husband and my 6 month old I asked for a refund as I didn’t want to have my baby exposed to this health hazard. The staff was very apologetic and understanding and helped with the refund. Spend the extra ££ and stay somewhere else.
