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.

Personally I like the breakfasts and Tv size, big and bold to make up for the smaller room and desk. But it's cosy and bed is really comfortable Though one thing that i found it hard to adapt to was the inconsistent shower temperature, out of 4 showers, 2 were ok, 1 was freezing, 1 was boiling

Unique in that it was cozy and its location in old town. Decoration and feel was nice. Whilst its an old building it was a bit of a rabbit warren. Loved that it was connected to the pub. Staff were friendly and helpful

Great little hotel

Hotel is really well situated near bus stops for further afield and within walking distance of the castle etc. Rooms were lovely - the gift basket with Irn Bru and Tunnocks, along with candy canes as its close to Christmas, was a lovely touch. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Pub next door is handy for breakfast. Can be a little rowdy at kicking out time, but that's to be expected and didn't offend us. All in all a quirky little place but has absolutely everything you need. I will definitely stay here again if I am ever in Edinburgh again
