10/10 Exceptional

The room was great for our family of 5. The room was nice and warm for our arrival and was in a fantastic location for getting the tram/buses. Plenty of eating places nearby. Would highly recommend to any families wanting to stay somewhere central.

Nice place and budget friendly!

We had a great stay, reception staff was very attentive to our needs. Place was clean, and we had quiet nights. Would stay there again. Breakfast was offered but we didn’t expect it to be. Price was right for our budget and that’s what was important to us.

Edinburgh

Area location was perfect near trams/buses. Quiet. Room was tiny with slanted ceiling so not suitable for a tall person, but adequate for me and my daughter. Shared bathroom.

Nice, Safe and clean

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.

Convenient location

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.

Beds are super comfy beds. Easily walk to downtown with easy transit options super clean and nice rooms would stay again
Arlen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Relatively clean and definitely quiet and walkable. About a 30 minute walk from touristy parts of Edinburgh, can’t beat the value if you just need a place to sleep.

Jacqueline, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We stayed 1 night for a quick visit to Edinburgh. Location was fine and cheaper than hotels more centrally located. Our room was on the top floor with many stairs to climb. Sharing a bathroom caused no issues and seemed to work well. However the room was tired and badly in need of maintenance. Tiles were loose, power sockets moved when using them, the blind, once down, could not be raised again and the tv worked intermittently (once we found the extension cable to turn it on). There were shops and cafes close by for breakfast. Overall not a great experience however it was clean and manageable for 1 night.
Joy, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Cannot recommend this place

Much smaller than expected. Not clear in the overview that it is a shared bathroom. No breakfast available. Expected more with the price we paid.
Nina, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

A decent location and quiet, but a bit shabby and a tiny room and bathroom. No staff on site.

Masarath, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was very small, different from what we saw in the pictures. One of the beds had stained sheets. It is self check-in, but they didn’t sent by room info in advanced, we were lucky that there was someone to ask, because there was almost no staff on the property. The bathroom was very small and had no space to put your belongings.
